"Good" in christian terms not only means being nice and caring for your fellow humans but everything that makes God's creation work: accepting that he knows how it is supposed to work and doing what he says instead of trying to fix this world solely by ourselves. IMO reasonable from a believer's point of view.
Ever notice how "what he says" just so happens to coincide with the believers' wishes? Suspicious, that.
Also however it ends up was what he willed anyway. The whole thing goes tits up: well God is testing our faith, but we must continue to believe. Everything works perfectly: God has blessed us. It removes all personal responsibility from any decision.
