Your friendly dad sounds like a real keeper! 
Personally, I wouldn't have said "there is no god", as it puts the burden on you.
I would have gone with "there doesn't seem to be any god... if you wish me to acknowledge any god, then you need to present me with some decent evidence for it." yatta yatta, blah, blah, blah... bible - not good, come on dad, you can do better than a dusty old book of dubious origins... oh, what's that? you didn't know it's dubious?... perhaps you'd like to watch this little video:
And learn a bit about the gnostic movement that happened before your book was compiled: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Gnosticism
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcion
So, dad, do you still think that book deserves any credence?
