Watch and Weep

                                             Mad as a bucket of frogs in vinegar                                                    

It is probably a good idea to go to YouTube and search for: 'Kat Kerr describing heaven'. This will provide the necessary context to my erudite commentary. There are many videos for perusal. In fact, she never shuts up about the heavenly abode. There are videos out there that are 8 hours long. It all becomes repetitive and boring after a while but the devoted faithful lap this insanity up as if it was manna from heaven. 

Here is a link to a snippet of her bollocks.

Kat Kerr Sees Talking Dogs and People Fishing in Heaven - YouTube

What can I say? After viewing a few of these videos I am uncharacteristically speechless. I have come across Kat Kerr, the self-proclaimed prophetess of God before, however, on each occasion I'm left totally bemused.  

The videos are highly illuminating with regard to Kerr's worldview and psyche. I sincerely suspect that she is bamboozling 'simple believers' with this madness for nefarious reasons- monetary gain, anyone?  Could she be hallucinating or just using her vivid imagination to construct a heaven of biblical proportions?

For those fortunate souls who are not acquainted with this charming individual here is a little background information: Kat Kerr is an American prophetess who claims she has unprecedented access to heaven, Angels, Jesus, and God. She communes with God on a regular basis where he imparts various snippets of prophecy for distribution amongst the populous. Predictably she is very pro-Trump and with other religious pundits of the ilk, she predicted a second (second coming?) win for Trump in the last election. This did not happen. In the aftermath, she trotted out a series of lame and unbelievable excuses. It appears that she engages in frequent excursions to heaven and has a look around taking in the sights and experiences. All of which she is willing to share with the gullible masses. She has her own website, a simple Goggle search will whisk you (teleport) to this wondrous site.

Here is what heaven is like according to Kat Kerr: Heaven is a real place with geographical limits. It is very much like earth, only perfect. And of course, all people in heaven are perfect physically and mentally. There are no bald people in heaven- god does not like 'follicular challenged' folk. The bald are miraculously, cranialy hirsuite - what happened to free will? Everyone seems to live in mansions. There is no sex in heaven (I thought this was paradise). There will be food for us to enjoy even though we don't need to eat to maintain our ethereal 'bodies'. Fast food restaurants exist. However, the restaurants are very 'Eurocentric'. So you can get pizza but no mention of Chinese food and curries. Of course, you couldn't live the 'American Dream' without amusement parks and sports arenas. People can fly, but have to be taught, by who else but Christopher Reeves. The weather is perfect with no wind or rain. There is a place called 'Christmas Town' where it continually snows (not in New Zealand Town, though). Angels have wings and like to ride the roller coaster. Angels are described/depicted as you would find in renaissance art, cherubic and beautiful. This is interesting as the Old Testament describes Angels differently. They are frightening and monstrous to look at. Kerr, whilst in heaven, espied Jesus playing a round of golf. This is enough about heaven. She witters on about other details, but I'm sure you get the picture. Thus heaven is very much like an 8-year-old girl's conception of heaven. And that girl would be white and from middle America and called Stacey-Lynn.     

What are we to make of this insanity? First off, she seems so earnest in her description and portrayal.  She seems quite sane, therefore, I suspect she is 'making it up' for either personal gain or to enhance her popularity and 'celeb' status; or perhaps both. She has written several books about her description of heaven and these books have sold very well. She appears to be an astute, successful, and accomplished businesswoman. She is no fool and knows exactly what she is doing. Like all the 'evangelical charismatic' crowd she is well orf with a net worth of 8 million dollars. She is very popular with the American fundamental Christian believers of middle America and is a frequent guest on evangelical shows such as the 'Elija List' with Steve Shultz. Poor Steve is a simple soul and believes every word she utters. Mrs. Kerr is also a regular stage performer and espouses her views to a large audience. And the evangelicals lap this stuff up and soak up this pap uncritically.

It is hard for me to contemplate how sane, modern Western folk can believe in Kerr's mixture. Heaven is represented as a schmaltzy 'Dinsey Land' production. Tis a farcical rendition and yet a relatively large swathe of Americans take her description as true. The fact that she supposedly visits heaven and communes with God, on a regular basis, bothers them, not a jot.  

As for spiritual content...... God and Jesus are capitalist materialists. Everything is magnificent and panders to our dreams of acquiring amazing things and wealth. The deep spiritual stuff is not mentioned at all. Middle America's wet dream.

Tis interesting to note that she could only get away with this sort of thing in the US. I couldn't see the denizens of New Zealand, Australia, Canada, and Europe falling for this brand of madness. Anyway, let me know in the comments what you think.   

Hallelujah!
