So like us the child lack of understanding the big picture.
Please give smart way to explain this comparison
Here's a quick and dirty rule to apply to any God->human analogy someone uses. Humans have limitations God supposedly does not, and God has powers that humans do not. In every one of these analogies, the human is put in a situation which would be used to excuse God's actions, but God would not be forced to act in the same way.
So, in the above analogy, if you make that doctor God, it could be reworded: Think of a child that sees a doctor unnecessarily cutting off a man's legs when he could have instead used magic to save him. It falls apart pretty quickly when you realize that doctors don't have all the options in their utility belt that God does.
In short: ask them whether or not their god is great. If he is, tell them to stop comparing him to humans when making excuses for him. Their god is always big and powerful when it comes to what he can do, but when it comes time for accountability, he's small and weak, and he didn't have any other options. Really!
