Hell, by that definition, Hitler was "good" (he did what he wanted), Stalin was "good", EVERYBODY was "good"! But then "good" doesn't MEAN anything! Only if "good" means that there are certain things a person won't do (i.e. murder, rape, etc.) does the label have any meaning! The way Christians use the term, God can do ANYTHING and still be "good", which is ludicrous...

Oh yeah, I'm SOOO evil for wanting God's behavior to match His description! SOOO, SOOO wicked am I, I actually want God to be (gasp) good! Oh, how miserable am I, I know so much less than the Christians...

Actually, Jesus said that only God could be 'good.' As in, perfect. And the two shebears who tore up the kids? Well, in the ancient Hebrew tradition, nothing was worse than being cursed, so the verse is meant to show what it can do.

Sounds reasonable, that one of the many reason I don't believe in the Christian God.
