Unless justice is defined as whatever god does (which is subjective at least on god's part) my point is that the Christian god does not appear just by any standard we apply to humans.

Good as in functional. That's the root meaning of good.
The Natzi gas chambers were functional, but they weren't good at least not in any moral sense of the word.
If god isn't good as in, "that which is morally right" but merely as, "having the qualities required for a particular role" i.e. that of creator, then I see no difference between the proposed goodness of god and the big bang.

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.
