Once you stop thinking of god as an eternal being and see him from the perspective of a few people in a specific point in time and situation, those virtues make a little more sense. Justice, mercy, good, evil don't really exist in nature, rather these are all human perceptions which change with time and society.
Let's say you get mugged and the perpetrator gets a few years in prison. Now you being the victim, this can seem to be the perfect justice. But let's say that mugger has a 4yr old child, from that childs perspective, some people just took away his mom/dad and thus it would feel like injustice to him. From a bystanders perspective, it would be justice towards you, and injustice towards the child.
Similarly to people who have been oppressed and tortured, any form of pain towards the oppressor will feel moral and just. In times of peace, that same thing will feel immoral and unjust.
