It is a horrible answer.
Is the metaphor that God is the barber and only blesses people who come to see Him? But that isn't the question—It's, "Why do bad things happen to good people?"
Both Jesus—who is God—and Job were good people. Bad things happened to them. It's not because they didn't have a relationship with God and didn't go see Him.
In the parable of the wheat and tares, the land owner, who represents God, says, "An enemy has done this." The story of Job is the story of bad things happening to good people—and the answer is, "Satan attacked Job for being a good person." So evil is why bad things happen to good people—but it is also why bad things happen to evil people. Conversely, God sends rain on both the good and the evil, regardless of whether one comes to Him or not.
So the real question is, "If God is good, why is there evil at all? Why did He create a universe in which bad things can happen and in which evil can exist?" And the answer is because God is love and He is life—and true love can't exist without real choices to live or die.
But Christians should always ask the questionin return: "At what point would you intervene to stop evil? How far would you go to, say, end child sacrifice?" God sent a Flood to restrain such evil, but that was too far for most people who ask the question..So the next question is—"At what point, when you committed evil—stole, lied, exploited someone for your own selfish gain—should God have snuffed you out of existence?"
We are alive now because God loves us and He wants to save us—especially from the lies of contemporary evangelical Christianity.
