If you have read the bible from cover to cover then you must agree as such.
I will try and simplify this respectfully if I over simplify something it is not to be taken as a sign of disrespect.
God does not live to a good standard in order to be considered good. "Good" is a term that can be defined as 'God like.' Now put out of your mind your current understanding of Good. Now substitute it for Anything God decides to do. Whatever that is God's 'good' standard or Righteousness. Even if it is smashing babies against rocks or killing entire races of people. Why? Because Good is not a universal standard in which to measure God. God is the good standard.
Now you may ask why can god do these things but when you do them it is considered evil. In short, you are not God. God reserves the right to be able to do with His creation whatever is in His will.
