I know it wont kill you or anything, but my father loves watermelon and is constantly eating the black seeds from the red watermelon, is this bad for him?

Nope, it's just a little seed. It will pass out of him fine.

I've accidentally eaten plenty of seeds, but many people like to eat more of them so it can't be that bad. ;D
Check out this tidbit from Wikipedia:
"Watermelon seeds are rich in fat and protein, and are widely eaten as a snack, added to other dishes, or used as an oilseed. Specialized varieties are grown which have little watery flesh but concentrate their energy into seed production. In China watermelon seeds are one of the most common snack foods, popular especially with women, competing with sunflower seeds, and sold roasted and seasoned. In West Africa, they are pressed for oil, and are popular in egusi soup and other dishes."

No seed will either be digested or just pass on through. People have been doing it for ages. Watermelon.... yummm:) Now I want some!

watermelon seeds are not bad for you
But the seeds of grape could make your stomach hurt and cause flatulence.
