And they, like Adam, are really blaming God. They judge Him and say He shouldn’t ever talk about sin or justice, that it is IMMORAL for God to put restrictions on people in any way, or to hold them to account. They call the Bible “hate speech” and speaking out against sin “phobia”.

It’s very much like the move “Omega Man” or “I Am Legend” (original  title of a 1954 sci-fi book by Richard Matheson about a future last survivor of a global disaster). The rest of the people have become “monsters” through disease, but as the only one immune to it, the main character is now the “monster” to them because he kills them. In the same way, when the majority of people worship God, evildoers are easily seen as what they are, but now, with the majority rejecting God, they see Him and us as the “monsters”.

Of course, in the book/movie the fact remained that only the immune man was truly human, and in real life, God remains God and His followers remain faithful, regardless of how we are perceived. But we have become monsters to them.
