Because you are using the term "Western" in a way much more broad than I've ever heard it, as it relates to 1st Century Christianity. The point wasn't to teach you something new, (because obviously you know it all!  ), it was to properly express my point and help define what I mean with the word "Western." I'm sorry my repetition frustrated you and ruffled your feathers
