We have tails, and we have teeth...

I'm going to explain the title, something I rarely do. My ex has emailed me on a point mostly on religion. My first thought was "Stupid, stupid rat creature!", but that would be too obvious, so I went one level up to Coraline. Of course, that's also too obvious, but I'm feeling lazy.

I'm probably committing a major no-no in netiquette, since I'm posting the email entire. I apologize to those offended, but it was in my inbox and I feel that I must explore this.

I'll start with a little info. In court, under oath, my ex stated that she would support the religious choice of my son, particularly concerning the LDS church - of which my wife is a member and my son has asked repeatedly to be allowed baptism into. I see nothing wrong with it, and support my sons right to choose.

The first bit is about taxes:

That is ok then we will both be audited. I suggest you
change you tax return. I am entilted to claim him
every other year and when I asked you about this years
ago you lied to me and told me I could not. Ypu owe me
this and the next 7 years. I am not going to let you
walk all over me anymore.

Bite me.

I'm still looking into this for the state of Colorado, but it looks like they use the federal regulations as a guide for this. (confirmed)

Absolutley not, I would not like my child to be
damned, like you. Also I want him out of that boy
scout troop,. They were calling other spirts into
people bodies I really do not want [Ultrason] to have
anything to do with that church. I feel very strongly
about this. I know you do not have much to do with
that church [Ultrason] tell me that you do not even go.
So I do not know why you want him to go there so bad.
Is [Mrs. Charlie] making you send him there?

I attend quite frequently (almost as often as my wife does). I don't attend Sunday School or priesthood meetings, but neither do my sons.

But my main beef is that she's a frippin' lying psycho. Under oath she said that she'd support the LDS church as a choice for my son. Maybe 2 weeks ago (Feb 16th) is when she said this, and I knew it for a lie then. She'd told me that she hated Mormons, called them "lizard worshippers", and that it was a key reason for not letting Ultrason go to Utah. Now that court is over, she might think it's smoothing sailing, but I hope to turn this one around. I want her pummelled by the swift hand of justice. But in a "Monty Python"esque way. Like descending out of the clouds and squashing her on PBS.

(Although I'm not a member of the LDS church, nor any other church, I support my children in exploring any religion. I think it would be poor parenting to not allow my children that much.)
