If you know that theres a being who is more Fair than anything in existence, and youre sure that Ultimate Fairness exists through the presence of such a being, would you mind that He destroys whoever He wishes?

Your question is kind of a leading question.Isn't it?!
You have already set the ground for a positive answer:
1. "more Fair than anything in existence"
2."Ultimate Fairness exists through the presence of such a being"
So because he is what you have attributed to him, definitely whenever he decides to destroy someone, he would not do this out of a whim or the spur of the moment, but out of wisdom, and based on firm and fair ground that justifies his action.
I believe anybody who would answer to the contrary would be mislead by: "destroys whoever He wishes?". The word "wishes" is cunning, suggestive, therefore misleading.
That being described by you would not haphazardly wish, neither would he act in a certain way simply because that is what he wishes. He is ultimately a fair being, and fairness will definitely be reflected on his deeds.
I hope I have answered your question.

More fair than anything in existence doesn't mean anything. Just because someone's more intelligent than anyone else, doesn't mean they're invulnerable to mistakes. I don't believe in blind faith, so if I see someone who is the ultimate in fairness kill an innocent 3 month old, I have to ask how is that fair. If the explanation is logical and not just "mysterious ways" then we'd have grounds for discussion. Ultimately, I'd doubt anyone can come up with a fair reason to kill a 3 month old infant.

If you make something, it is your right alone to destroy it or remove it....people may ask you why but they dont deserve an explanation unless you wish to give it to them....because that thing came from you and belonged to you. In the same way...God is fair and we are his creation....if he takes someone away or destroys someone...it may seem unfair to us and unjust, but we dont know His reasons...and however unfair it seems....we have to accept that when He says 'BE'....'IT BECOMES'.
Its not easy to accept because we are beings with intellect and need reasons and justifications for everything, however we have to submit to the higher power.
I often wonder why the the people of Africa are starving and why little babies die, why people were destroyed in the Tsunami and other never ending questions....but if i didnt believe in Him and His goodness...i would have no faith at all.....and thats a lonely place to be.
We just have to keep the Faith alive :)

There is an inherent unfairness in saying "I am the only way for the entire planet, and no one who believes otherwise will ever get to heaven." To expect so many different races, nationalities and cultures to accept one religion (especially when the tenets of that religion go against cultural teachings in many places on the globe) is setting millions and millions up for "failure", which I don't think anyone can argue is fair.

By definition, were he to destroy whoever he wishes, he would no longer be more fair than anything in existence, unless you are speaking about his complexion.

He made this earth very good. Then sin entered. There will be a new Heaven and a new Earth which dwell in Righteousness. Between here and there everything that makes a lie must be eliminated. YHVH is the only one with the power and wisdom to do it, and praise His name, He is going to. May it be soon!

Nice setup. I MIND, he hets PISSED OFF and destroys ME. "fairness" is a manmade concept, so this is just so much smoke you're trying to blow up our collective @sses. Nice try, though.
