Testing, testing...

This is merely a test, and profile.
Rin Rabble - that's me - is a part-time college student at a small Catholic college by the name of Ursuline College. It has nuns, which automatically makes it a lot cooler than most. I'm majoring in English, and minoring in Psychology.
I'm writing a series of fantasy-drama novels by the name Soul-Bound. I'm still on the first book, which is progressing nicely.
I am the oldest of three children, I have three cats, and five bookshelves doubly stacked with books.
I am a very liberal Catholic who believes in universalism - the belief that there is truth to be found in every religion great or small. I think everyone should be able to go to heaven - even the evil, who I hope will enter heaven and realize that they've been wrong all along, and behave better once they learn the truth. Those who are not capable of feeling guilt for bad actions are sick in the head, and should thus be treated mercifully by God, who made them that way. I'm not saying that murderers should be let free to roam the streets killing wantonly. I'm all for prison - but eternity is an awfully long time to be punished. Hell should really be repentance camp, rehabilitating the unworthy into souls healthy enough to join their fellow children of God in heaven.
I love to read, write, sing, and sleep. Music is a great inspiration for me. I like to think deep thoughts, ponder the why of things, the whys of peoples, the ticking of the universe.

I'm socially liberal but fiscally conservative. I do not approve of abortion, but it must be kept legal, or women will resort to poison and wire hangers in back alleys. There is nothing sinful about committed love - homosexuality is not evolutionarily practical, but not sinful: they should be allowed to marry. I have nothing against polyfidelity - committed relationships, not polyamory.

There is no such thing as REAL Americans and 'fake' Americans, unless it is a matter of legal citizenship. Whoever believes that should be ashamed of themselves.
The Bible is not perfect. It was written by humans with imperfect memories, and translated by imperfect people who were people of their times. It's all about context. The Bible is an attempt at perfection, but shows its flaws. In the same chapter it condemns homosexuality, speaks of how to sell one's children into slavery, and bans the consumption of shellfish. Really, people.
There is nothing perfect on this earth, not since Jesus left. I believe this is such so that we can truly appreciate heaven.

I don't like the self-righteous, and those who don't try to put themselves in the shoes of others. I know it's hard - walk a mile in someone else's shoes and you will get blisters. It's the trying part that matters.

Forgiveness is the key to personal salvation.

I am a comic-book and fantasy nerd.

And that's me run out of steam.
Talk to y'all later.

Kudos,
Rin.
