Many people are motivated by the devil's whispers the way the devil whispered in Eve's ear in the garden. It doesn't have to be rational, only that the devil makes it seem like good sense to those hearing his whispers.
When someone's mind is controlled by the devil everything he tells them makes sense even when it is irrational.
Many people are under the influence of the devil right now even if they are not possessed by him. Their mind thinks thoughts he put there and they think these thoughts are their own.
When the non-believer hates the Christian, even when the Christian did kind things for them, they are motivated by the devil to believe the kind thing was foolish or deliberately hurtful.
If you are a born again believer you have probably already experienced irrational reactions to your kind deeds.
When Christ did miracles healing people as well as releasing them from the control of devils, He was accused of doing those deeds by the power of the devil.
We know Christ was and is perfect, everything He did and does all the time is perfect. Even then, there were many people who hated Him out of jealousy. The devil convinced them not to believe in Him while explaining away all the good that He did.
Proverbs
"Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who act faithfully are his delight."
Revelation 21:8
"But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”
Proverbs 19:9
"A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who breathes out lies will perish."
