I say 'God is good' because God demonstrates the definition of 'good' - He defines the term and it's moral meaning, and I find that His character matches that description.
I do not believe 'good' is some kind of independently existing standard that God has to measure up to, however. If it was, who set that standard?
And if 'good' is simply relative in all cases, then there is no basis upon which to judge anyone, except to say 'this or that doesn't meet MY criteria of what I believe is good so therefore it is bad - to me.'
Morality is relative - relative to God. But that's where the buck stops, imo.
