Yes, my point in adding on all those stipulations is that your analogy was oversimplsitic and sloppy. You could keep qualifying your million dollars analogy to infinity, and wouldn't reach the level of complexity that a God belief (and all the rammifications attached to it) would entail.

Stop using truncated, lazy examples and start giving evidence for your God.

(EDIT: Unrelated, but can someone tell me how to do a "hidden quote" thing? Like you have to hit the button to show the quote? I want to avoid having massive textwall quotes)

Analogies are analogues. They're not meant to be perfect. But obviously you couldn't have evidence for the money... I thought that would be obvious. Sloppy would be inaccurate, as you made it.

No need to change the subject. The analogy works perfectly well.

if you honestly can't see why your analogy isn't apt, then I'm not sure it's worth having the conversation.
