Why do good things happen to bad people?
Duh! They don't.
"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose." Romans 8:28
Clearly, if you love God, then everything that happens will turn out to be good. If you don't love God, then whatever you experience or encounter will turn out to be bad--unless it directly leads you to love God, which is good. More likely, it will lead you straight to hell, which is bad.
This is all so very simple and clear--no matter how things may seem to be, the only test for its intrinsic goodness or badness is with God.
Nothing that happens in this life has any meaning anyway. It's all just a sorting exercise for the Holy Spirit. You're born onto this earth so that you can either get saved and spend your real eternal life praising Jesus without bathroom breaks, or so that you can be sent to hell and suffer, horrible, unspeakable levels of pain and agony forever and ever and ever and ever--again, for the glory of God.
