Is it true that Google doesn't like body background image?

Is it possible to harm Google ranking with image as body background?

I've read somewhere that Google doesn't like body background image, is it true?

[Macro]

That is incorrect. There is no evidence that a background image will harm your rankings

[bignet]

i dont think so.
it may be used for hiding text which search engines dont like
but if you want to avoid all tags/properties that could be abused you will have to stop htmling

No.
