Oh man
I'm really sorry.
It sounds like your brother just can't accept you disagreeing with him. Many of the theists are like that on this board. I don't think debating him is ever going to get anywhere, I'd just not bother if I was you. You don't need to justify yourself to him. Even if the prophecies were "true", it doesn't prove the rest of the book is true, nor does it mean you'd have to join the religion even if it was.
That's thoroughly disgusting about your parents. I got put on prozac the first time I had serious depression, and it saved my life. I would never have got through without it. It may take a few attempts to find the anti depressant that works for you, there are several different families. I would highly advise trying it. The way I look at it, it helps make you strong enough to help yourself. It got my head above water.
Thanks for sharing about the porn. We're all pretty open here, feel free to talk about it. I regularly use porn.
