The veneration and kissing of icons and the overly methodical & formulaic ceremonious-ness would definitely seem like an embarrassing thing and investment of time for anyone had they eventually turned apostate. Also, kissing the hands of Bishops & Priests would seem quite embarrassing too, I imagine.

Edit: It is a very, very common practice. It is rare to not do it. I have really only heard of a few Americans that have refused to partake in this tradition. It is not necessary or anything, but it is by far the norm, especially here.

"Whoosh," I thought, was the sound of a ball "swishing" through the basket in a basketball game.
Like,
::: Jump shot, Three pointer, :::
>>>>> WHOOSH!!!<<<<<
"Nothing but net; we win the sportsball game!"
So, Dive, in fact, was telling me I am the star player.

As in, “Campy Russell fires off a three pointer...Swish!”
Ah, memories.
