Even if you had evidence of such a Creator telling us that they're good and intend good for us, what evidence do you have of that actually being true?
I have no reason to assume God, Jesus or anyone else is good. I define God as good because the Bible defines Him as good. I believe God is good, because of His graciousness and mercy I have experienced in my life and attribute as the work of His hand. If zenulbub the alien show up and claimed that all those thoughts and attributions were his doing then I would assume zenulbub was good and reassess my beliefs in zenulbub and God.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
