That friend is my dad, I can't tell him to go fuck his sensitivity ^.^
How would you go about it?

Excellent! The fact that it's your dad your having this "discussion" with is solidly in your favor.
Let things cool down a bit.....then go to your dad and ask (humbly) for his help.
Ask him to give you at least two solid reasons why he believes there is a god.
Don't refute them right away!!
Tell him thanks and you'd like to think about his answers.
Let some time pass (during which you construct questions that point out the errors in his beliefs).
Then...back to dad to continue the discussion.....
Really....it's a great way to grow closer to dad. He does not get attacked, and you get a chance to practice your atheist apologetics with a guy who loves you!
Not a bad deal all around!

People don't go to heaven when they die; they're taken to a special room and burned.
