Salam Loveleen welcome
You hit the jackpot there, it's all about Tradition.
Tradition which passed down (and modified as it goes along) through generations.
Your dad didn't invent those ridiculous things, he got those from tradition.From the day that he was born, he was repeatedly being thought by his society to maintain and keep the tradition and pass it down to his children, among them I believe is you. Things might be different if he was born in different society.
Among other type of transformation, cultural transformation is the most difficult.
And that's what Muhammad, Jesus, Abraham and countless of others in the past tried to do.. instigating cultural transformation within their respective society. They need to deal with insult, death threat and torture just because their thought are not inline with 'tradition'.No matter how 'sound' Abraham's argumentation is, it will not be accepted by his society thus he was convicted to death by burning, just because his thought is not inline with 'tradition'.
May God protect you and grant you His wisdom
Salam / Peace

Welcome!
I find it amazing and interesting to see how our lives are made up of different components that we confuse, mix and mistake for each other.
Religion, culture, spirituality/humanity (the real one)... are often jumbled up and confused. They are three distinct and different things that are superimposed on each other, quite naturally, in our lives. The problem arises when we cannot tell them apart. Another most important ingredient in the soup of our life is our own thought patterns and neuro-pathways in our brain, which dictate how and what we think of things. When we fail to understand how we are an integral part of our surrounding (although we usually deny it) we are left stuck. Anyhow, just had to say that.You might find many wondrous ideas and information on this forum. I've come to realize that we find exactly those things that we are ready for. Just pray to The Creator for forgiveness (This is the number One thing we all should do all the time!), purification and truthful insights. This will bring peace! In my opinion, life can just get better and better!
Peace!
