How do religious ideas capture one? Through the way God's presence effects one's interior. Through religion we  sense or taste for the infinite. God is an experience. The  thing you would die for speaks to mood and emotion.  We follow God because our ability to understand his love, not out of  religious duty. Something about our encounter with God is different.  What did your experience feel like to meet him? Like the ocean ... there is something more that transcends . God is this feeling of something that envelops and fills us.
