That guy is a complete jerk, nothing like Jesus's dad at all.
They are actually two entirely separate religions, joined by Roman political force. Jesus' life was retconned, that's why the gospels plagiarized stories. (The water to wine story belongs to the Greek god Dionysus.)
This isn't the first time you see it; in the old testament, when the Persians had conquered the Holy Land, the Israelites convinced their conquerors that they also worshipped "the God of the Heavens" as Persians did. But in all private conversations, they continue to call YHVH the god of the Jews... as they continue to do til this day.
Christians might feel as though they worship the same god as Jewish people, but Jewish people don't feel that way at all. Their most important religious book calls the Virgin Mary a prostitute and believes Jesus is boiling in excrement in the afterlife.
I'm referencing Yeshua ben Yosef, called Jesus. And yes, that's who the Talmud says is boiling in excrement for eternity.
The resurrection arc was plagiarized from a famous romance story at the time. The hero of that story was also unfairly treated by the law, and faced dastardly plots by religious leaders.
This is not new shit. The story of Noah was ripped from the Babylonians, whose god used a rainbow as a weapon to shoot god-arrows. The story of Moses's birth, including the mass murder of babies and being discovered among the reeds, is ripped from the story of an Assyrian hero.
These religions survived by stealing the best memes around, saying "I made this." But hey, it's not like you can change a religious belief using evidence. A basic function of a religion is to believe things without evidence, or contrary to the evidence.
