Good is defined as God's desires and His nature, anything in opposition to that is considered evil (sin). In other words: What God desires is good, what God does not is evil.

is god truly good? or is it just that we knew the definition of what good was and associated it with god?
perhaps 'God is Good' is like saying 'Water is Good'. Water does not have qualities of being good, but it is good because it sustains life. Thus if being god means being good, wouldn't being good mean being god? We are "built in his image".
fuckin fundies, go pick up a philosophy book once in a while.
The great Spirit is good, and desires nothing, for it needs nothing. And no mortal fool has anything special to offer it, anyway.
The god-gamers have only learned to blur the distinction between good and evil.
Strangely enough, your god's desires always seem to completely coincide with your own. There's never any healthy dissent or difference of opinion. We'll never hear you say things like:
"god wants everyone to repent, but I happen to disagree with him on that"
"I'm actually a-OK with homosexuals myself, but god says we have to persecute them so that's what we gotta do"
No, somehow the things god likes happen to be exactly what you like and the things he abhors whatever you find alien, weird or just icky.
So, good is to kill off every man, woman, child and ox in the country you have conquered? Good is to kill people for eating shellfish. Good is to send bears to maul disobedient kids. Good is to be petty and childish when it comes to other deities.
Evil is to let women decide whom to marry, what to do whit their own bodies. Evil is to tolerate other people and their faith or lack of faith. Evil is to live and let live.
Good to know...
Well, that's all fine and maybe good except for this:
You people pretend there is a God you know, only from a book, and are allowed to speak for, demand for and command others therefrom. And that's total bullshit.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
