The Paradox of This Enigma

The paradox of this enigma I am an enigma... I am a paradox... What am I? Here's a clue... I am used to put out fires... but I burn too... you can't see me but I exist... you can't touch me but I'm real... I am liquid, but I'm a gas too.. I am a river but you can't swim in me I am H2O but... you can't brush your teeth with me what am I? I am... not a naturally occurring substance I am... an anomaly I am a man made paradox that should not exist but I do I am... water contaminated with methane gas. Methane gas sometimes is released into the groundwater contaminating it. Now gas companies and their conglomerates will tell you that it is not true that fracking the earth is not causing the problem and what is new? polluters not taking responsibility for their actions! I know! amazing right! Meanwhile homeowners cannot drink their tap water and rivers are dying all over the world. All in the name of independence to be self sufficient in regards to fossil fuels. Just one more evident demonstration of how poorly humans are managing this planet. Soon, very soon, they will have to pay not with money but with their lives. This is not a threat just speaking truth. See Revelation 11:18 where God says he "will bring to ruin those ruining the earth" what a glorious day that will be! John Derek Hamilton April 25,2016
