I feel your pain. My family still thinks I'm in denial and that "deep down" I really believe. It's quite a hopeless feeling when all your loved ones are evangelicals, think you are hellbound and are so entrenched in their beliefs that they can't see the Bible and the claims of religion for what it is.

We have lingered in the chambers of the sea | By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown | Till human voices wake us, and we drown. — T.S. Eliot
"... man always has to decide for himself in the darkness, that he must want beyond what he knows. ..." — Simone de Beauvoir
"As if that blind rage had washed me clean, rid me of hope; for the first time, in that night alive with signs and stars, I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world. Finding it so much like myself—so like a brother, really—I felt that I had been happy and that I was happy again." — Albert Camus, "The Stranger"
