"I’m not really sure that God is all that concerned about being entertained, I’m not sure, it’s just a human thing. Sometimes you try to pray, you try to impress God with all the right words and I just don’t think it’s an easy thing to impress God Almighty. Another thing that I think we often forget is that we don’t really have to impress Him, He’s already knocked out about you, He already loves you more than you can imagine.
I remember reading a think that Picasso once said, I like to read what famous artists have to say because I am barely able to look at their paintings without going into a coma trying to figure out what its about. But he said this one thing that I really did like, he said good taste was 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 is has to do with being human. And one of the reasons I love the Bible is because the humans in the Bible are not very refined. They’re pretty goofy if you wanna know the whole true about it.
I remember when I was a kid and people would always say--because I was one of those typical depressed adolescent types, I wrote poetry and stuff, that’s how morose I was as a kid--people would go around saying, oh cheer up man because God loves you, and I’d always say big deal, God loves everyone, that don’t make me special, that just proves that God ain't got no taste. And I don’t think He does, thank God. Cause God takes the junk of our lives and He makes the greatest art in the world out of it. And if He was cultured, if He was as civilized as most Christian people wish He was, He would be useless to Christianity. But God is a Wild Man, and I hope that the course of your life you encounter Him. But let me warn you, you need to hang on for dear life, or let go for dear life, maybe is better.” - Rich Mullins
