1 Corinthians 1:18, 23a For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God…we preach Christ crucified…
Some think the earliest representation of worship involving a crucifix is contained in graffiti discovered in a guardroom near the Circus Maximus in Rome. Known as the Alexamenos Graffito and variously dated anywhere from the 1st to 3rd century, the graffiti is a crudely drawn picture with an inscription. The picture portrays a man standing at the foot of a cross with his hand raised in worship to the man hanging there. The man on the cross is drawn with the head of an ass and the inscription reads, “Alexamenos worships his god.”
Beware the deception that we can win the world if only we’re nice enough or smart enough or relevant enough or more scientific or more inviting. To most of the world we’ll never be more than fools who worship an ass.
according to Script 
So is being nice, smart, relevant, scientific, or inviting things we should not strive to be?

no, not my point. Probably should have tried to clarify. Maybe the conclusion should have read:
Beware the deception that we can win the world if only we’re nice enough or smart enough or relevant enough or scientific enough or inviting enough.
when your a fool who worships an ass you can never do “enough” to win…
