Why do men prefer darkness over light?

Answered in 1 source

Men prefer darkness over light due to a natural love for their own evil deeds and a refusal to acknowledge God's truth (John 3:19-20).

Human preference for darkness over light is rooted in the sinful nature that seeks to avoid exposure of one’s sinfulness. John 3:19-20 explains that people love darkness because their deeds are evil and they do not want their evil actions to be exposed. This enmity against the light reflects a deeper spiritual rebellion against the truth of God, which would require them to acknowledge their need for repentance and salvation. This inclination toward darkness leads to rationalizations and justifications for sin. Consequently, the rejection of Christ as the light of the world is an emotional and spiritual barrier that many are unwilling to overcome, as it demands a surrender of their illusion of autonomy and self-righteousness.
