His own goodness. There is no evil in Him. God is sovereign and he is far wiser than anyone else. Therefore He knows what is best. He does repay unrepentant evil with evil, but if you look at his record, He is often slow to repay and often gives time for repentance. But then you should avoid evil and not count on being given time to repent, because you might not get it.
Yes. I think we should deal with our difficulties ourselves, and we don't need any foreign power meddling in our affairs. God has already declared himself to be an enemy of humanity when he drowned almost all of us. He has pledged to burn many of us some day. Such a being cannot be considered our friend.
That appears to be different from qaml who seems to prefer a Nanny God who strikes all evil doers immediately and no doubt premptively thus prevents man from being able to do evil. For my own sake, I'm glad God is not thus. But he is our creator, therefore He is not a "foreign power". I have no doubt that God's meddling has only been to our benefit.

He drowned us because "the earth was filled with violence". He did not drown the righteous. That there was only one righteous man and his family is our problem not his.
There is actually not going to be very many people on the earth when He burns it. But there is going to be judgement on the non-repentant. God is not at war with the righteous, only with the unrepentant. Choosing to remain at war with God is not wise, both because sin tends to have consequences and God's eventual judgement will be sure.
That God Himself paid the price for our sins (including yours), to redeem us, does make Him our friend. That you choose not to accept His payment on your behalf, doesn't make you any worse than the rest of us (Christians included), just means you willingly forfeit your pardon. It's not wise, but it is your God given right.
