One of my theories is that he is a lying sociopath and that Amon was the creators' way of introducing the idea that some people really are just "evil" to kids. He may be a bender himself, though if you read my other theory (about Ozai being released from prison in exchange for information on Zuko's mum/escaping thus becoming Amon's father) you may note that there are several point against the "he's secretly a bender" argument.

Though if it turns out he is a lying sociopath, but isn't a bender himself, his motive could just be to destroy Aang's legacy. I figured at first that this could be the case if Amon turned out to be Aang's only non-bender son Bumi.

However there is also the possibility that he is simply so blinded by rage that he isn't thinking about the long term consequences.
