Sam Harris, in his recent article called The Fireplace Delusion, tries to make you feel what it's like to react to a cached belief being irreparably destroyed. Just incase you forgot what your apostasy (if you had one, of course) was like in its early stages.

While I was reading it, I found myself thinking
"Come on, give me some citations! Just show me some trustworthy studies so I can show my rationalist virtue by gracefully accepting it!"
I'm not sure this was quite the right way to respond.
You mean, like the review article he linked to, and which can be found free online?
