I'd also like to thank the diligent editors at Sankaku for compiling such an extensive collection of her work.
Maybe they should turn their attention next to Sarah Palin? Edit: While I was at Sankaku, I came across this photograph of Mikamo Chizuko, the "daughter of Twenty Faces," in her swimsuit. Definitely a change of style from her earlier taste in swimwear.

Absolutely f'ing brilliant and hilarious analysis of the recent Pat Robertson pronouncements on Haiti. The blog author's articles are fascinating and deeply researched ...

1. Satanist 2. Blasphemer 3. Bullshitter etc. These people just take their religion for granted and refused reason, accepted fear of their god as a form of loyalty, and preach despite their indeterminate lack of understanding for even their own religion. The author just put forward a point of view that skewers everyone left and right, and the most interesting point is how he relates Job to how the all-seeing believers being blind to themselves, and think of the heaven as a just a simple carrot and stick issue. That is downright pathetic. Believing in a religion isn't just a "heart" issue. It is a "mind" and "soul" issue too. Just like everything else in this world, you don't have to ask for permission to do anything, all you have to do is to bear the consequence later. This is the nature of cause and effect and what propels events to move and change our lives. Though I always had this benefit of doubt that some kind of powerful being exists who controls our lives, I flatly refused to believe in a religion because none can provide a reason valid and logical enough. I never liked taking sides, so I always declare under official documents that I am either a "haruhiist" or "neutral" (no I don't believe in scientiology or atheist, it just still another concept of religion). And to quote a poem by Robert Frost : Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that, the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: two roads diverged in a wood, and I -- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. It takes real guts and balls to stand out there and offer a point of view that may be rejected by almost everyone. The author surely has them. It is a pity that it is going to be used as a tool for both the left and right sides for their own selfish reasons to promote or for against religious beliefs as a whole.

Hey you quoted what used to be my sig :D "I took the one less travelled by..' man awesome stuff
Although you wouldn't think it there still are many people who think rather one-sidedly even in a supposedly very liberal country like America (well not quite, just look at the situation with the NRA to start).
