Relationships

Why does my dad get upset when he scapegoats me and I point out how he plays favorites and he denies it?

So I don't hate my dad and I love him but me and my dad have a love hate relationship, for example if things don't go his way and exactly the way he does things, he has a fit and starts criticizing everything I love and do. He then goes on about how he will not stop being a pain in my ass until I find a real job and just so you know I have had several real jobs but he always found something else to criticize me. However, since I am poor and literally the definition of poor and not rich like my older brother he always finds something to criticize me about and he was the same about my sister until she had a stroke. Since the pandemic happened I lost my job and it was hard trying to find a new full time job. But apparently since I am not wealthy like my older brother and living on my own he has every right to belittle me and he has even threatened to kick me out even though he never has and he gets even more pissed when my mom defends me against him and gets even more verbal when that happens. Yet when I point out my older brother and how he never criticizes him, he gets even more upset and he never defends me when my older brother does the exact same thing. My older brother is catholic and my dad is evangelical and has not once tried to convert my brother but when I converted to the orthodox faith, he lost his mind and started going on about how the orthodox faith is pagan worship but the catholic church is almost identical. Why does my dad seem to criticize me? I even asked him if I am such a burden then why did he have more kids and could never get a straight answer from him.
