Literal sense, we have 2 fathers, 1 God the Father who sits in Heaven above and the other is the Biological father who is in this earth.
Now Jesus is the son of God, because he was born through divine intervention. we are all born by physical contact.
So till such time we grow up and and stand on our own 2 feet as men/women independently, God the Father, gave each of us a father or dad here in this Earth to help us out.
As christians we below to the family of God. So any one related to God is part of the Family.
From your questions you must be a Muslim.

Well first off I'm not a Christian, nor am I an atheist.
But I think you're making a lot of assumptions there.
I dont think any sane person would consider God to be their actual physical father. That would irrational.
All religions have their flaws, but I would not say this part of the Christian belief is one of them.
I'm not going to guess you're religion as there's hundreds of them, other than to say you have a strong desire to "disprove Christianity", so you must have had some negative experiences with Christians.

Well your first statement is right but the explanation is gravely incorrect.
We have a earthly biological father and a Heavenly Father who sent his son to die for us. Thus by accepting Jesus we become members in the family of God. Just those who accept because if you don't you probably will have one father, just the earthly.

I think you are again trying to be profocotive meny old men call all children son or daught that does not mean they are visicaly God is older than all he does not have visical relatioships as you imply wityh any one as Ctholics call prists father , which is wrong, Jesu s told us to call God father as he loves us all as his children but Jesus was the greatest on earth althpough he is God and = with God he is also been one of us so knows our fears and desires he said we are to all be as brothers and sisters one family I do not think you realy miss understand just you like to anoy people

Father is a word that Christians use in order to characterize and humanize God. It is used to help people understand God in a way that is easier to understand, because of God's magnificense, mystery and wonder, we will never understand the true nature of God.

Don't think of it in literal terms. Yes, God (the Trinity) is our spiritual father. You also have a biological father. However, the purpose of marriage (from the Christian perspective) is that it is a spiritual union with God. You represent and recreate the union of God with his church. It is also a weaker and simpler analogy of the interactions of the Trinity. The terms "child", "father", "brother" are all meant in non-literal and non-biological terms in Christianity. They show that we are all related through Christ and that we are all of one body in Christ. It's a way of explaining spiritual relationships through a context that is tangible that we are familiar with on a daily basis - biological relationships.

You have greatly misunderstood Christian doctrine. True, "Born Again" Christians are the spiritual children of God, the Father, as explained in John 1:
11 He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
As this scripture explains, we are NOT children of the "flesh" from God, so our conception is not the issue; what made us spiritual children of God was our belief in Him.
I truly hope you study this issue more. Peace.

Yikes! My brain hurts from reading all that!
Yes, Christians have two fathers. One is an Earthly father and one is a Heavenly Father.
