My initial thoughts: It's an attempt to consistently cultivate specific emotions (e.g. awe, fear, love) through the use of ritual cues such as liturgy, actions and environment. What say you?
I am afraid that during a worship ritual (or prayer), accepting being submitted totally to a certain being (no matter if real or not) let the worshipper feels a special pleasant sensation (though in mind) as it is the case when a person submits totally and freely to another one (he/she trusts) sexually, even prior of any act.
Could I blame someone for having pleasant times with a heavenly or earthly being
