It all goes back to the fall
Remember Satan's lie: But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” It was half a lie, but a lie none the less. After the fall, folks believed that THEY determined what was good and what was evil. And since they thought they were God or like God, they did as they pleased, ignoring the true God. And then in their arrogance, they got their just reward. Things aren't different now. Some folks continue to ignore God and decide for themselves, or look to the world to decide on what is right and what is wrong. In a lot of cases they consider good to be evil and evil to be good. And in their arrogance they declare God evil. The more things change the more they stay the same.
