Yes because that is thoroughly just. God can do no other. Objectively, that is his nature. God isn't good... good is God. Just like a court might sentence a criminal to punishment. Difference is... God is sure of his convictions, where a human judge can't be.
Only if you define justice as what god does and a very ugly justice that would be.

I don't think that follows. What is it that is inherently good about a creator?
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
