This is a terrible comparison. I don't expect everyone to need or
want Dabo; I only mention it in case there are those out there for
whom it would be useful. I certainly don't plan on condemning anyone
who doesn't use it!
Also, the parable shows how much of a difference the sower can make.
If they were to cast their seeds randomly, as the sower in the parable
seems to do, then yes, many of them will not grow. But if he were to
make an effort to plant them properly, then nearly every one would
grow. Seems that Jesus is saying that God is more like the careless
sower, who doesn't consider the seeds precious enough to plant
carefully.
