Can one truly be enslaved by one with whom he completely agrees? Consider a man who marries the perfect woman for him: Would you say his relationship enslaves him? If so, why?
The biblical god is in no way like a perfect woman. A perfect woman wouldn't stop you doing stuff you wouldn't enjoy for some weird sense of gratification, wouldn't make you sit/kneel for ages in her house whilst she lectures you, and wouldn't commit genocide or tell others to.
