Sue-Ann Post is well-known to Australian audiences. One look at her will tell you she’s not just your average 6-foot-tall ex-Mormon lesbian comedian. She got the crowd going last night with her tales of the strangeness of Mormon belief, and the shows she’s done since her deconversion. “If you want to know why I’m a lesbian, just look at Mormon men!” she roared, to the delight of the audience and the discomfort of at least one erstwhile Latter-day Saint.
But all was forgiven today at the book signing. She gave me a congratulatory (regular) handshake when I told her of my deconversion, and she was very funny and gracious. She didn’t even mind when I mentioned that, while she mentioned the Mormon belief that God lives on planet Kolob, in fact Kolob is the star around which God’s planet orbits. She thought that was great, and it reminded me that Joseph Smith really came up with some whoppers.

All these people 'god' talks to and she always forgets to tell them some important things, like disease is spread by dirt and washing your hands and bathing will prevent most of it. And insanity isn't caused by demons.
