You were told multiple times and by two different flight attendants to turn off your phone. Obviously this was after the general announcement was made to turn off all electronic devices including cellphones. Instead of complying with their instruction to turn it off you made a case for keeping it on. Do you think that somehow you are above the rules and should get special treatment just because your e-mail was still being transmitted?
What you did was disobey the orders of the flight crew which is actually a federal offense punishable by fines and possible imprisonment. You are lucky you were just put off the flight and not arrested. Instead of "pray(ing) for those flight attendants that they be forgiven" (which I might add is a highly hypocritical statement since they were only doing their job) you should instead say a prayer of thanks that you weren't led away in handcuffs and charged with a crime.
