I need help. Badly.

Hi guys! So I've been on reddit now for a month or two and really love the community. They've broadened my horizons considerably, and I've watched them give a happy ending to many a story. So now I ask for your help.

I am 17 and live in a rural, bible thumping part of Texas. I've always been good with computers, and so I bought my first a few months ago and later found reddit (programing questions).
My parents are strong Christians. I am not, and I haven't told them. This is where the problem starts. My parents listened to a seminar at church a couple years ago about courtship. My brother had been dating several months before they got into courtship, and they demanded that he cut it off. He refused and they kicked him out of the house. At the time it didn't matter to me too much, (he was going to college and he simply got an apartment).

Then I met this girl. I'd fucking die for her, and I know she loves me to.

My parents gave me my permit about a month ago. I think they suspected something like this would happen, and are withholding my licence as a way to keep me at home. My parents haven't wanted me to work anywhere but on their farm and they don't pay me.

I don't mind the work. I don't mind sucking up to their religion. But I hate being separated from her.

As things stand it seems like I have a couple options.

1. Suck up a year or two more and then leave when I get my licence.
2. Leave on foot (and do god knows what).

I need help. I love this girl, but I just see no way out of this mess.
