No, because the morality of G-d's actions would be determined by what G-d knows, and not what we know. The problem with your argument is that it implicitly equates G-d's morality with our assessment of His morality.
Look at it this way. Let's say you drop by Little Friends, and those present ask you to explain your day at work and why you made the decisions you made. Maybe you even want to answer their questions, but try as you may, you can't possibly make them understand. They don't know enough of the world to understand your answers, and even if they had all of the information you did, they still wouldn't have the analytical ability needed to make adequate use of that information.
That lack of understanding on their part might leave them thinking that you did something mean, when in fact you just made a difficult choice you had to make, but regardless of what they do or do not have the capacity to understand, you are who you are. The same principle applies here. G-d has the knowledge of all that is, and the intellect to create it all. Not a one of us, not even an Einstein, comes close to that.
The mysterious nature of G-d's actions, then, is a reflection upon us and not upon Him.

Doesn't the Bible say several times that God is Love?
Sounds like He would be good to me. If you're talking about God being evil because he lets all the suffering in the world continue lets not forget that Man was created perfect to start with. It all when to crap when the first woman ate him out of house and home and separated Man from God. Then theres also the issue of free will.
If what the Bible says is true then God is letting things continue as they are to prove to Satan that Man on his own and without God will just screw everything up (we're doing a pretty good job of it so far) whereas Satan told Eve they could be their own Gods if they ate the fruit off the tree. The reason He doesn't just destroy Satan and be done with it is because, the Bible says, a host of Angels are watching the events. God is using Satan as an example to prove his point, he doesn't want further rebellion on his hands.
It's just unfortunate that we're all in the middle of it although to be fair God says he'll make it up to us when he's done, what a diamond geezer...

well... God isn't evil. God is good. Humans are evil and the things we have done have put evil into the world. for instance the things that happened during the holocaust we evil and those were things done by man not God.

True, true.
I still say God is Good, though...because....
to be wrong, something must go against what should be; God can only be what should be, being the origin of everything, and therefore is Good.
However, this leads to the obvious conclusion: Everything is Good.

Without God's standards of good and bad we are left with human opinions. We might not like a lot of things about God and how He operates. But when you look at the big picture, His deal for us is good and generous. I want to team up with God.

In the Bible, God tells us that He is good. He says that no one else in the world is good. Everyone else has evil inside of them. Jesus is the only man that in my opinion could have ever been considered good.

The reason God is considered "Good" comes from something similar to Stockholm syndrome.
Threats of hell, you know.
