So if your mother gets taken by a serial killer, you'd say that was a good thing? Nothing evil has occurred. She just happened to be in place where there was less than the usual amount of good.
Her death was a good thing - not quite as good as she may have hoped perhaps, but still "good"?
And the killer wasn't evil, he was actually a good person - not quite as good as you and me, but still "good", definitely not evil.
All that, just to save yourself the bother of admitting that your omnibenevolent God does not exist !
