It is possible and routine for some people to say facts all day long, while others struggle to even figure out if anything they say or think is factually true or not. It is also possible to get so bogged down in facts that the truth is obscured. Albert Einstein is credited with saying something like, "The one with big dreams is more powerful than the one with all the facts." There is truth to this.
According to the United States Environmental Assessment Center, which was created as the head of the Dihydrogen Monoxide Research Division,
"DHMO is a constituent of many known toxic substances, diseases and disease-causing agents, environmental hazards and can even be lethal to humans in quantities as small as a thimbleful."
Too many people die each year in DHMO-related deaths to keep any official count, and there is no feasible plan in place that can prevent them all.
The DMHO Research Division goes on to list dangers and causes of death that are recorded as DMHO-related:
What are some of the dangers associated with DMHO?
Each year, Dihydrogen Monoxide is a known causative component in many thousands of deaths and is a major contributor to millions upon millions of dollars in damage to property and the environment. Some of the known perils of Dihydrogen Monoxide are:
- Death due to accidental inhalation of DHMO, even in small quantities.
- Prolonged exposure to solid DHMO causes severe tissue damage.
- Excessive ingestion produces a number of unpleasant though not typically life-threatening side-effects.
- DHMO is a major component of acid rain.
- Gaseous DHMO can cause severe burns.
- Contributes to soil erosion.
- Leads to corrosion and oxidation of many metals.
- Contamination of electrical systems often causes short-circuits.
- Exposure decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes.
- Found in biopsies of pre-cancerous tumors and lesions.
- Given to vicious dogs involved in recent deadly attacks.
- Often associated with killer cyclones in the U.S. Midwest and elsewhere, and in hurricanes including deadly storms in Florida, New Orleans and other areas of the southeastern U.S.
- Thermal variations in DHMO are a suspected contributor to the El Nino weather effect.

Meanwhile, back on the ranch ...
... back to reality.
"Dihydrogen Monoxide" is water. "Di-" meaning "2" as in 2 hydrogen molecules, and "Mono-" meaning "1" as in 1 oxygen molecule. H2O. That's water.
Water is, indeed a component in many deaths around the world, but that does not mean that water is bad. Indeed, water is involved in every birth.
Water has many uses, and many good natural appearances in our natural environments in this world. Humanity and all of living life depends on water.
Water is the only thing I know of which can be naturally found in three states of matter at natural surface level temperatures here on Earth, and it's the only thing that I know of which expands as it freezes from a liquid to a solid.
Water is used for drinking and nourishment, and when our bodies have enough water, they can do everything else they need to do.
Water is used for our sewage systems, to remove and store our human waste away from our central locations.
Water is used for cleaning, in industries, in homes, in nature, and internally within living bodies.
Water is used metaphorically.
Water is used for transportation.
Water is used for lawmaking and negotiating.
Water is used for police enforcement.
Water is used to cut metal and glass.
Water is used to stay cool.
Water is used to cook food.
Water brings life.
Water brings death.
Water has many functions that we utilize it for, and many functions which we rarely give it any thought for, if at all.
Water is in many ways opposite of fire, and water is in many ways similar to fire.
Water is in the air and we do not see it.
We are somewhere around 60% - 70% made up of water, and also so is the surface of the Earth. (everything we know about underneath the surface is fire and molten)
The human body is designed to be able to live for a couple of days without water and remain healthy, but after a couple more, a person's body is hurting and nearing death, if they don't take in water. In general, we can safely go for 30-40 days without food, and between 1-3 minutes without oxygen, as long as we are well hydrated and healthy.
Everywhere there is water, there can be life.
Everywhere we have found life, there is water.
God's Word calls God Himself water.
Jesus Christ says that those who drink of the water that He gives, they will never thirst again, and I say "AMEN!"
Water is, in fact, very important, and exceedingly vital for every person interested in life.
Yet, if all the facts you knew were the facts from that website I posted above, you might come to believe that "Dihydrogen Monoxide" is a chemical compound which is so lethal and deadly that it must be banned immediately. This article is, of course, a hoax, a joke that was created in a newspaper one time as a gag, as just a few paragraphs, but it got peoples' attention. Since then, many times people have made this "warning" into a petition where they went around and interviewed people and had them read "100% true facts" about "DHMO," and then people were convinced to sign this petition in support of an immediate worldwide or local ban on "DHMO," yet people had no real reason to want to ban water, other than they only had been confused by someone's mental and verbal magic trick. When these petitions have gone around, they have gotten a wide majority of people to sign them in favor of banning Dihydrogen Monoxide, not knowing it was just water.
But when you have facts that are not crafted with the intent to deceive, and when you have a more total and more realistic view of all the facts and not just ones selected to paint a picture, you have a better chance at being able to use those facts to help discern the truth of any given situation.
There are people alive today who have been bamboozled into believing that they must declare their identity and find an identity to have and hold and be, in this life, but for those who know what the Bible says, it says that we are hidden in Christ, and that He has a name reserved for us which He is going to give to those who overcome and sit with Him in eternity. We do not need to "identify" as anybody to be fulfilled in this life, and much less so to fulfill anybody else's requirements. Sadly, many people are already sold out to this lie, hook, line, and sinker, and they are so lost in changing their identity and finding and crafting their perfect identity, and so lost in believing real definitions to words, and so lost in understanding what is real ownership.
A lot of these people have identified with the rainbow flag. A lot of them identify with unicorns. It will be a jarring shock to them when they see Jesus Christ returning and He and His angels surrounded in a rainbow, when they realize and remember that the rainbow belongs to God. It will be a jarring shock to them to see unicorns when all of creation is restored to perfection, because there are unicorns in the Bible, and there were unicorns in the past. Yet, the Bible tells us of two very diametrically opposed eternal habitations for everyone who has ever been created, and these people who identify today with rainbows and unicorns in a perverted way, these people are not going to be on the good side of eternity, because God says so.
Jesus Christ has forgiven everyone. It is finished. It is a matter of whether people receive and believe in His forgiveness or not, which will determine how they spend eternity. We were created as eternal beings. God tells us of a time when He is pouring out His Spirit upon the world, when people will seek death and will not find it, because they will be so afraid of God. We are going to have an eternal life with Jesus Christ in Heaven forever, or the only other option is to spend eternity apart from Jesus Christ, in the torment of knowing that it was an unnecessary way to go, and with each moment of agonizing existence, the distance between warmth and love and yourself grows further and further apart.
And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
Daniel 12.1-4
