You may not understand this because you're american and you live in a country founded and ruled by liberals since the beginning but most of Europe has gone trough dictatorships whether it's absolutism, fascism or socialism/communism and excluding Hitler who was extremely evil most figures are admired and hated simultaneously but few people actually say "this person is not important anymore because I don't like him".
If dictatorships trouble you so much why are you posting here? atheistforums.org is ran with a dictatorship model - Moderators pick the administrators and moderators pick other moderators. You don't vote for anything and you will be banned if you don't agree with the rules decided without your consent. Quite frankly, it works perfectly.
God is not only a supreme ruler but an absolute one - the power god supposedly has is impossible for any human to achieve. Comparing him with people we know existed is ridiculous. Worse - Evaluating any historical figure with a western liberal concept of morality is ridiculous because everything will be considered wrong.
As for humans being property? Really? You call yourself a liberal, meaning you support a market system where scientifically workers are considered tools to be traded and bought. The biggest oppressive system is living with us right now, and it's not Stalin, Hitler or Napoleon. It's the market.

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
