A good thing? Sure, lol. Firstly, it would be difficult to imagine anything worse than discovering that the fairy I've always regarded as the ultimate expression of capriciousness coupled with malice actually existed, and was god. The trouble with your analogy is that this "gift" is as poorly thought out as "god". Clearly neither you nor god (if god would do such a thing) has any idea what a "good thing" is, (and why does it seem as though it always somehow defaults to wealth and riches?). What would I do with that golden couch? Go deposit it in a vault somewhere? Sell it to some buyer who wouldn't ask me where I got it, alert the authorities, or call the padded wagon when I told him it was given to me by god? I'd have agents of our government shoved so far up my ass trying to figure out where the fucking golden couch came from that it would be a literal living hell. Why would I accept a gift from such a creature in the first place? If I was in the habit of accepting large amounts of wealth from malevolent entities I'd be in the money laundering business, which I am not. This is no "good thing" that god might do, and you never took the time to think it through. If you did take the time to think things through, little things like this couch, or big things like god claims, you might be able to offer an effective analogy, or a competent argument. Nonetheless that's what sprung to mind when you went groping in the dark for an intelligent thought wasn't it? The idea that god might just pop into someones living room and give him a pile of treasure. I wonder how many other christians have an internal narrative like this one?
You clearly have no idea why I don't believe in god. I can sum it up in a single word. Evidence. Whether or not I believe in god has absolutely nothing to do with how I would react if god were a reality, instead of this childish fantasy you've presented. Let me repeat this, because I think you need to hear it again. If your god were real, I wouldn't worship it. I find the christian narrative of god repulsive. I could not bring myself to sing praises to your disgusting god, if only to save my "eternal soul", even if we stood face to face.
