There is a logical fault in the original statement presented in the graphic:
We DO NOT worship a homeless man.
How can the ominpresent creator of ALL THINGS NOT have a home?
Because, in his humanity, he may have not had a place head, it does NOT mean that that instance alone takes precedence over the other.
The original statement appeals to the "stupidification" of Americans: Where rudimentary Christian ideas are conveyed by clever wordplay or "punch line" sophistry (which passes for wisdom and spirituality.)
In other words: It's easier to do the "Why do we worship a homeless man...." bit, and achieve concern for others through guilt, than to become concerned for others out of knowing the creator through his word to such a degree that care for others is naturally reflected.
