Alright folks, you're making this excessively complicated. It's crystal clear and easy to see what Max is going for here.
The man from Allentown gave his son all the food he wanted and go figure, he overate and died from it. It was the man's responsibility to make sure he son whom he created only ate what he needed, but he did not. Now he's not taking the blame for his actions.
Similarly, Jesus gave humans freedom to do with their lives whatever they pleased, and what do you know, we're killing ourselves too! (wars, global warming, black people, etc). Jesus is not taking the blame for this like the aforementioned man though it is because of him that we have all of the things that we have, which is slowly causing our eventual demise.

Lesson here: Jesus is careless.
