Like here, you automatically assume that as long as as self-sacrifice and benefit of others is involved, then the actions is "good" - otherwise, its not.
By the way, you were looking for examples of good things without god and you went to a site called ReasonableFaith and read an article by William Lane Craig and now are disappointed? Really, what were you expecting?
It was one of those situation where I went to look for something specific but the search brought up an interesting sounding article.
The assumption of "good" is simply a moniker. I called it "good" for lack of a better term.
Basically, I call it good because it is an example of a non-self serving act that benefitted humanity on a small scale. Not Christian morality based at all, it is simply a way to differentiate the act from something "bad", or, something that does not benefit humanity.
