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.
