My question was rhetorical. The point is that there isn't a single, objective, universally accepted definition of good/evil, the way there are accepted physical constants and laws. Our definitions are subjective, informed by our upbringing, experiences, and personal values, all of which include religious influences, whether we are believers or not. The definition you present seems agreeable enough, but begs the question of what is a benefit, and even whether happiness is a worthy goal (the early Puritans didn't seem to think so). Referencing God just opens another can of worms: which God? Sure, the God of the Bible often acts as you describe, but what about the many other human images of deity? Even Jesus does better. I have not heard that version of the story. What is its origin, and what do you think it explains? IME, they are all just stories, each with its own morals and attempts to explain something about the human condition. There is something to be learned from all of them, but not by taking them as historical fact, or normative guidance.
