Unexpectedly and suddenly the people of Cagayan de Oro City, Iligan City and all the other towns in between these two cities in the northern coast of Mindanao, suffered a most devastating flooding in their history. According to what I've read, a month's worth of flood waters was suddenly dumped by Typhoon Sendong in just one night, Friday night, December 16, 2011 in these two major cities in Mindanao. It never happened that way before. Yes, there were floods occasionally but only in a few places of the city and not so devastating and widespread as this one. As of this writing, more than 400 people are reported dead due to this disaster.
And it is once again during these times -- just like during the Typhoon Ondoy -- that people ask: "Why does God allow Flash Floods?" Why does God allow evil to befall on us humans? Is God really a loving God?
These are tough questions which are not easy to answer and we cannot just brush them aside. People die and suffer everywhere. So why does God allow such things to happen? Why does God allow evil?
May I suggest some reading materials that discuss about this topic:
