Unhappy I came out but they don't believe me.

Ok, to begin with, I've been dating my girlfriend for approximately a year and a half on and off. I really do believe that I love her, but here's the problem: My parents. My parents are religious fanatics who believe all homosexuals, unless they turn away from homosexual activity, are going to burn in hell. So for about a year I dated my girlfriend feeling guilty because I had to keep it from my parents. My parents noticed that I was really close to her and began to question me. Shortly after my 1-year anniversary with my girlfriend they were planning this huge talk-thing about my sexuality and I told my mom that I was dating my "best friend." Well, she got mad and told my dad and they told me that if I didn't stop dating her either A) she was never allowed in the house again or B) They would kick me out (knowing full well I don't have the money to go somewhere). They told me that they don't believe that I'm gay. Pretty much stating that I'm crazy or something. I'm not really gay, it's just in my head or something like that. About a month after I broke up with my girlfriend I was so miserable without her that I got back together with her and now it's harder to hide it from my parents, but my parents seem to refuse to accept that I'm a lesbian. They have friends who are gay, my dad is a pastor and he doesn't care if a gay couple comes in and sits in his church, but if I tell them that I'm back together with my girlfriend they'll kick me out. I really hate to lie to them, but I'm terrified to tell them the truth. What should I do?
