That's the fancy philosophical jargon given by the religious Eichmanns of the world, who aren't bright enough to recognize propaganda when it's staring them in the face.
This is one of the biggest differences between theists and atheists, IMO.
They start with the notion that not only does their god do good, but that their god is Good, capital 'G'. That it's the embodiment of some sort of cosmic moral force, and thus whatever it does is automatically good, because it cannot go against its inherent nature. So, when it does heinous shit, it has to be good, or for some kind of greater good, and is thus moral, if still really kind of shitty.
We, on the other hand, are skeptics. When the bible starts claiming that god is good, we say "prove it." And the purported acts contained within the book show the claim to be a lie.
I find our approach to be far more rational.
