Your questions from a hindu perspective:
1) Is God good?
A: Nope, but nor bad either, at best it is neutral.
2) Why?
A: Those concepts are an illusion within the circle of life and don't apply to it. So anyone who can rise above these illusions can then finally break free of the circle of life and merge with their god.
3) Do you base your opinion more on the Old Testament or the New?
A: Doesn't directly apply to hindus, but hindus do have a lot more scriptures across a long time span. However none of the actual scriptures except "The Bhagvad Gita" is considered a word of god, but all are wisdom from wise men, and hindus are free to choose what they want to believe among all these scriptures. Yes, the hinduism comes packaged with the cherry-picking clause!
As for the Gita itself, even it itself isn't a rulebook like the abrahamic faiths, rather Krishna, whose words comprise the Gita, is claimed to have said in the Mahabharata (the gita is actually a sub-portion of this epic) that the dharma or wisdoms belong to a certain time period and must be changed with time.
4) Why?
A: Cherrypicking ofcourse!
5) Is there any bible verse that might remotely contradict your answer for question #1?
A: Again doesn't apply to hindus, but hindus do have totally contradictory scriptures with one rejecting the other. Ex: Manusanghita vs Padma-mahapuran
6) Why might I disagree with you?
A: Because you literally have the right to believe anything you want in hinduism, including god doesn't exist, or rejecting the concept of karma, and also there is no final authority in hinduism, unlike the vatican, which can declare your beliefs as true or false.
