And god is not perverted in my view, but many human leaders are.
Holy fucking shit.
Why do you think "Kings" can be good? Because of England's Royal Family in it's current state? When the first Kings of England started their rule they were brutal and had absolute power. When the age of Enlightenment came about those leaders knew that the were really no longer in charge and merely became vacation attractions. If the Queen tried to take absolute power back, which is what a dictator has, she would have her ass handed to her if not jailed have her head cut off. She is queen in name only. Any power she has is not unlimited and most of it makes her merely an Ambassador. She is not a dictator. Her title is a relic of the past, ceremonial.
Now again, your God isn't even willing to relegate himself to a figurehead like the Queen, so he remains a dictator. He has absolute final say and there is nothing we can do to change that.
So once again, your god concept and is a dictator, as you admitted to. I don't give one fuck how good you claim this god is. I find absolutely no value in a concept of an immovable figure who does not need my consent to rule over me.
Well in my understanding of god, he has not, nor ever will ask anyone for a consent to rule over them. And again, the concept of having a king or a dictator, is not inherently evil within itself, if the one who holds the power is good, then their rule will be good as well.
