Is this addressed to me? I'm not sure.
No reference to any fairy-tale was made by Chad - so I'm not sure why would you assume his position in it.
The difference between the two situations is that pizza is an objective entity not a matter of opinion like evil (according to you). A better analogy would be
Q - "Can we order something delicious?"
A - "What is something delicious?"
A perfectly justified response.
@Rythm.
Now this is a theist you can criticize to your hearts content. He makes assertions and claims about god and good left and right without providing an iota of support for them.

I'm simply pointing out that omni-benevolence does not have any consistency with the rest of the fairy tale, I think I've made it clear that this is my opinion (a subjective one) several times. Since you feel the need to press the issue I'll do the same. Is your subjective opinion so much different from mine in this regard overall, or does it only break from mine when you begin to make apologies for the lord of the cosmos?

Put yourself in the shoes of another, this is the same argument we hear day in and day out, verbatim. Its infuriating.

A-"What is pizza?"

You are trying to hold God to a definition that is contained in our small minds, with God and his omniscient mind, knowing all things, He sees what will be perfect for his will. It's like trying to hold the universe to our standards of scientific understanding, then the universe breaks our rules, and we must adapt to understand what we have discovered and rethink what is true. The same with God the more we understand about Him the more we must rethink what we know about Him. This is why only through a personal relationship with Him can we begin to understand Him. God is good, it's outside of our understanding for the most part.
