The serious and obvious answer is: perhaps we’re wrong in our definition of ‘good’. If you start with the assumption that god creates and defines morality–which is where a lot of christians start–then if god were to do something ‘evil’, then we’re the ones that are wrong in how we’re perceiving and defining it.
The underlying assumption is that what we think is good must be mirrored by what a god thinks is good.
