in religion as in love

He continued: ‘I was talking about this to a priest a few months ago.
I said, you fall in love with a girl, visit her often, kiss her, tell
her many times and in many ways that you love her; then you visit her
less and less often, give her an occasional peck, tell her that she
has your esteem. “What has that to do with it?” asked the priest. It
has everything to do with it: it means that what you do in religion,
as in love, is the sign of what you are.’
