Ok… so for no particular reason, I am doing some research on the Amiga computer (a fine machine for its day if you ask me) when I happened to stumble across the name of an interesting person, Andy Warhol. I knew about him before, but until just then, I had no idea that he was an Amiga fanatic (along with Dick van Dyke). Just then, my curiosity piqued and I have decided to haphazardly divert my attention from the Amiga to Andy Warhol to see the kind of artwork he did on the Amiga. Of course, I knew that he was a local homeboy from my hometown of Pittsburgh and that he had some male-leaning sexuality that was the driving force behind his amazing “pop” artwork. However, I had not known anything about his religious beliefs and such. As I took a dive into several biographies and epithets on Mr. Warhol, I discovered that he was a Byzantine Catholic who apparently went to church quite frequently. I found that interesting and I want to continue looking into this much more since the guy was very colorful (and strange). Who knows what else I will find next. If anyone knows other things about ol’ Andy, please feel free to comment here.

EDIT: Oh, for the record, I found some information about Warhol’s faith from GodSpy, a Catholic website. The article can be read by clicking here. Read that and tell me what you think.

Uh oh. It appears that the Muslims are finally beating the total world Catholic population. According to Reuters UK, the Vatican has made a statement about the ever growing Muslim population after conducting official religion demographics for 2008. Well it looks like the status-quo is changing in the East and Islam may very well take over parts of Europe as the official religion in the future. Click here to read more.

Dr. Andrew Motes, the developer of a popular shareware software program in the 90s titled, “School-Mom”, has a very interesting analogy for the root of all evil. Not sure what it is? Well go see it for yourself. I think it is quite remarkable and well thought out.
