OPINION›RAIN, FLOOD, AND THEOLOGICAL Distortion DISASTER THEOLOGY
Rain, Floods and Theological Distortion Asking God to stop natural disasters is like "blaming" God for natural disasters that occur. This attitude also ignores the responsibility of humans who have contributed greatly to the occurrence of disasters.
There are interesting stories in Indonesia, especially when the rainy season arrives. The story tells of a flood and rain. In a country with a tropical climate, floods and rain are always seen as synergistic. Where there is rain, that is where flash floods occur. In short, rain brings disaster. When floods and landslides hit Deli Serdang recently, the Governor of North Sumatra Edy Rahmayadi issued an "imaginary" statement in front of the media crew. His party was very concerned and asked Allah SWT to stop the heavy rain that triggered the disaster. This statement is one proof that interesting stories are true
