What is it about God that makes him good? Is it possible he's not?

What is Good? Is that which is good always good?
Is god omnibenevolent (Is this the intent of the OP?)
That's all I've got; I'm barely Catholic (not sure I really am beyond technically), and quite existentialist (and finally understanding what that is after many people telling me that's what I am).
If we can wrap our minds around axioms such as "God is good" or "God is love" then I think much will fall into place naturally.

i believe God is Love like the bible states..and if God is Love then he is not Hate. I think God is good and not bad. I believe all bad and evil comes from us, and not God. It comes from NOT LOVING, or NOT following God. I dont know if i am right, but it is what i believe. I look forward to others answers as well.

It depends on what you mean by "good." According to Psalm 11:5, God hates "those who love violence." Go figure.
