And father's can give good gifts, but they don't do so to glorify God, but themselves.
Suppose I was poor growing up and got meager presents for my birthday. Now suppose I have children of my own, and on their birthdays I make sure they get a plethora of gifts. Who did I do that for? I did it for myself and how it makes me feel. The gifts themselves are good, but the motivation behind them is not. Thus, the giving doesn't reflect anything good in me.

I'm just warning against using the logical fallacy of hasty conclusions.
