The square root of a negative number is i or -i.
God is on trial. Being an all-powerful creator is not an excuse for evil. Dictated morality based on threats and force is no morality at all.

For the most part, my personal political views are not determined by political parties. The political parties in power are, at best, failed approximations of an ideal. So talking about politics without talking about political parties is quite doable.
As for loving Jehova for what Jehova is: The existence of religions which are not accurate is certain. There exists a false religious dogma. Is there a way to prove your religious scripture is true? If not, there is no reason not to believe your religion's dogma is a lie.
In the case of Jehova, there are multiple contradicting religions build around the "same" diety -- most all with the requirement that their followers consider the competing religions as worshipping a false god.
So we have a diety who will not provide proof that she/he exists, yet insists that we get the religion we worship correct. If you want to follow the parenting analogy, that's just messed up.
