There is no room for logic in their faith. Their conviction has to be absolute or else the whole world will come crashing down or so the believe. They can't see anything else because if so it would rise doubt in everything they claim to be true. As kgal said, it's driven by the fear of being wrong. If they are wrong about that then they could be wrong about all of it. What do humans naturally do when they are afraid? They either become aggressive or they seek safety. Her safety was to take strength from others of her faith. Instead of addressing the fear like a rational adult she tried to smother it with a child like insecurity. I have no issue with the belief in god or gods or any of that until I hear stories like this. People like this scare the shit out of me because they have no ability to think and are easily manipulated into actions that; for lack of a better word, are insane.
