Hey OP. Welcome btw.

Have you ever asked yourself:

How the fuck did I even let myself get in this predicament?
You 2 seem like polar opposites!

[Pat Mustard]

You left your son alone with this woman? I think homeschooling your kid because you're antiscience, and you want the bible to be their primary source of information when dealing with a modern world should count as abuse.

I think that should be "should" in place of "would".

Well, yes...we are polar opposites, and I definitely gave some thought as to how this all happened. When we were married, she was a self-proclaimed Atheist. But she always had a predisposition for overestimating her confidence in things that seemed true to her. She hasn't ever been much of a critical thinker, she's not one to consider alternatives before jumping to conclusions, and she would make fun of Christians and other religions without actually ever knowing exactly what it was she was making fun of. I was brought up Christian; raised in church. My reasons for not believing in Christianity were far different than hers. Her mind was the perfect environment for a religious belief to hatch, and somewhere along the way, someone laid the egg. Knowing that a person identifies as an Atheist is no indication as to how much thought they've given to what it means; and for her...it couldn't be any clearer that she never even knew what it meant when she used to claim the title. So when I look back, it's actually quite easy to see how vulnerable she was to something like this. Critical thinking is a habit of thought that requires practice, and she's never been interested in that.

Did we marry and divorce sisters?

Ok? Should is the word I posted. We agree?

I think if she shared her Apollyon/Baphomet story in family court, things might go your way.

You know, I am inclined to agree. But then a thought occurred to me about the society I find myself in that gave me this "Twilight Zone" feeling...

-If Peter Pan were the protagonist in her story and not Jesus, and instead of Baphomet and Apollyon, she was warning of the impending attack of Skeletor, she'd be ushered to the head of the line to be fitted for a straight jacket.

-But since the characters in her story can be vindicated from a really old book, it's almost as if its immune to criticism.

...and I couldn't help but imagine a scenario in court that gives me the hereby-jeebies. I imagine a bible in the bailiff's hand, waiting to be used as the pinnacle of truth before anyone gives testimony. I imagine the two of us trying to explain why the other parent is unfit. And after it's all said and done, the judge looks at me like I'm the irresponsible one!
