Abstraction, like ontological subjectivity before it, does not preclude epistemic objectivity.
We can use math to make objective statements, but it's still an abstraction..just as we can use the subjective contents of our experience to make objective statements. Anyhoo, that's way too softball of a question to justify that particular outburst of misunderstanding.
That a babykilling god is not great is demonstrable in the same way that a given bit of math is demonstrable. You start with your axioms and then show your work. Catch-22, ultimately...since demonstrating that a babykilling god is not, in fact, great..also demonstrates that great fairy is not great.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
