To the last point ironically I believe the main Christian faith to be the weeds in that parable.
Thank you for explaining that, ive been reading de rerum Natura to get a better understanding of what you've said but I've not made it very far, got distracted after reading up to line 100.
I also will be rereading your comments as this has helped me get a better understanding of your original comments, as I think i overlooked a few key words based off what you've said here.
I think it's a great read and very eye opening about just how advanced some ideas in antiquity were, but it can be either an insurmountable read or an enjoyable one depending on the translation.
I'd recommend this translation: https://www.amazon.com/Nature-Things-Penguin-Classics/dp/0140447962
It's much more digestible than the older translations with stilted language and does a great job in modernizing the poetic aspects for an English audience.
