How do I help someone who has said to his parents "I am gay" and received twin reactions. Paternal declaration of love and support coupled with paternal religious homily about "never act on this or you will be condemned to fiery torment"

Please note: Leaving home is not a current possiblity. Nor is arguing with the father, nor, probabaky, having a rational discussion with him (Newly converted Roman Candle). I appreciate that many will wish to offer this as advice, but please accept that, for the next few years, this is not a possibility. Instaed I would like practical thoughts on managing to stay sane and to thrive within the home environment.
