However they often fail to define prefect justice, so I wish to ask it here. What is perfect justice?
And if we do not know what perfect justice is, how could we know god's justice is perfect?

Perfect justice exists on Fantasy Island right next to the unicorn alley.

Seriously this is the kind of "logic" Christians like to use to defend stories of genocide and other mass killings in the bible. It's OK if God does it, just because. Don't question it because if you start asking questions it makes me want to question my own beliefs and that makes me uncomfortable.

That honestly scares me sometimes.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

If that's the case, what's the point in having a God?
