But... I don't just study religion, either. I live it out, I live it out in my own life, communally and in organizations that work with religions and people affected by it. It's fine not to agree with anything I have to say but I'm absolutely not some academic hanging out in an ivory tower.

You certainly come across that way. In spades. Sorry that you are "angry" at ideas. That must suck. Seems entirely futile to me to be angry at an idea, but then again ... it's elephants and turtles (really, it is .... I'm not saying that just to piss tompe off).
Oh, and with regard to the pig reference, you are forgiven, however, I reserve the right to tease you about making a pig reference at my expense for the rest of your days.
