Why do you think they're going to turn against you? Family is the tightest relationship you have. Think about what they've done for you during yur lifetime. No one is going to care more about you than family.
Wow, seriously? Lemme just...

That's Jesus, speaking. See, that's the part you're missing; ideally, family would be the strongest bond you have, but christianity spends its time demanding that you prize the religion more than anything, family included; anyone who can say what you did evidently isn't so familiar with their bible.
Christianity doesn't demand anything, nor does God, you only say things like that to be a dishonest drip, who has no arguments against scripture and you know this.
Christ is correct in what He said, those who love others and other things more than Him will put those things before Him, our savior. When Christ becomes first in a persons life every one in that persons life becomes more important to them, we can see a greater value in people we love through the eyes of Christ. Christ gives us an understanding of the love God has and that love is to be applied to ones life.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
