The fleet of cars and chauffeurs comes into play to describe the vast difference in capability between god and humanity as a whole, much less any individual person. To pretend that god and any person or organization are on equal footing in terms of what they can accomplish completely undermines your analogy. As I said already, it's an attempt to clear god of his appalling lack of responsibility for his own unwillingness to act when he has far more power than is needed to fix the problems that you won't put on his shoulders.

In other words, the analogy misses such a huge component that it does not apply. It's either badly mistaken or deliberately constructed in order to shift the burden from the one person who could easily resolve the issue at hand, for no other reason than to excuse his lack of action.

Drich is pretending that God doesn't own the cattle on a thousand hills, or in fact much of anything at all on the Earth He created. Because only by positing an impotent God can he possibly explain away the pain and suffering of billions of innocent children.

"God would help if he could, but he can't because Free Will and chariots of Iron!"
