Well, Jesus said that only God is good.
He was trying to direct people to God, not himself.

Very close to getting it right. Let me try to rephrase your opening there so that it really is true.
'I think the Lord of all should be a human who truly has respect for his fellow human.'
If you are straight it should not be enough to love just your wife. If you are gay it should not be enough to love your partner. If you have a family it should not be enough to just love your family. A person, any person, is only as worthy as the respect he or she shows for others.
I love my wife and I love my children more than anything else in the world, but if that were all I had in regards to love and respect, then my life would not be much. I would not be much a human then. I have respect for others and their beliefs, even if I do not agree with those beliefs. As long as a person earns that respect I have it for them. Once I see a person or a group of people saying that they do not respect others or the beliefs of others, then I loose respect for them. For even though I have respect for my fellow man there is a still a level in which all people need to earn that respect.

Yes, I think you care.
I think the Lord of all should be a man who truly loves his
one wife. Personally, I never heard anything about Jesus loving his wife. They say something about the whole friggin church being his wife. That would either make him a leader who sets an example of life-long celibacy, which would end the human race, or else a leader who is a
massive polygamist and a bisexual at that. Impossibly insane. What are we supposed to think once we start thinking?
