Nick Cave responds about his religious turn

I count myself as one who's been put off a bit by Nick Cave's more overtly religious tones lately. But I love his music and his approach and the way he writes about things, even faith, so I'll always follow along.

Here, he responds to a related question in this week's Red Hand Files:

Our lives are complicated and we all think and do things that are often unfathomable to one another, but we do so because we live our experiences and find our truths in different places. To my considerable surprise, I have found some of my truths in that wholly fallible, often disappointing, deeply weird, and thoroughly human institution of the Church. At times, this is as bewildering to me as it may be to you.
