Probably because his dad forced him and his brother to blood bend animals and each other to be his personal weapons to get revenge on the Avatar and destroy Republic City. Since his father used to treat them right before he discovered Amon and Tarlock were water benders he probably blamed bending for turning his father from caring to heartless bastard. I'm sure there was more of it then what we saw. Who knows where he traveled and what he saw in between leaving his family and surfacing in Republic City as Amon. I think genuinely believed bending was evil and should be gone.
