This guy was not doing any tongue in cheek thing, he was serious. It was a hot day and I saw him unload this cross from his vehicle. He carried/wheeled the cross for a mile or so on a path by the shore of Lake Michigan here in Milwaukee. I followed him until I could get a clean background with no trees, only the lake. I did talk to him when he finished his walk. He had no problems with me photographing him and was a very nice guy. There are good, sincere and decent people of all faiths and ditto that for atheists and agnostics.
