If ever there were a weary Christian, it was the late Rich Mullins (read his story here).
At one of his concerts, not too long before his death:
“I remember reading a thing that Picasso once said…. “Good taste is the enemy of great art’, which I think is very true. Good taste has all to do with being cultured and being refined and if art has to do with anything, it has to do with being human.
… People used to go around and say to me ‘Cheer up, God loves you,’ and I used to say ‘Big deal, God loves everybody. That don’t mean I’m special. It just proves that God don’t got no taste.’
And I don’t think he does. Thank God…. if he was cultured, if he was as civilized as most Christian people wish he was, he’d be useless to Christianity.”
