Never feel alone. 75% of my family are as 'far-gone' as your nephew. They do/say much crazier/non-sensical things than you have posted about your nephew. I just have not the time nor want to get to listing all the bat-shit nutty things they have said to me.
I'll give you just one though;
At a restaurant with the family. They have a habit of public demonstrations of their churchiness so normally they all hold hands and pray out loud without concern for those around them. My norm is I scoot me chair back a bit so those on either side of me can hold hands and I sit straight up, head held high until they finish their ritualisms.
One time the head kook tells me there in front of God and everybody "Just because you don't believe in the Kingdom of God doesn't mean you can't pray with us."
HA! What could I say? A million things, but the stupidity of that statement made me just gawk at him with, what I'm sure was, a completely confused look upon my face. All I could muster was a "What?". A confused, double open palmed gesture "What?!"
He looked as if he gave it a moments ponderance and then just ignored me.
Really, I got a million and one of these stories.
This sounds really uncomfortable, I feel for you.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
