My problem is with Fundamentalism of any religion. The world has changed, we have much more science since the Bible was written (and rewritten/poorly translated). Fundamentalists refuse to accept that life/society has changed.

The mentally ill also have problems seeing the world as it is.

Are they the same? Not exactly, but in many cases the comparison is an honest one. Both are extremely rigid in their thought process. Kim Davis crosses the line not because of what she believes, but because she thinks that god has instructed her to deny the rights of others. At the very least we can argue that her religion has clouded her judgment.

I think Kim is mentally ill. I think she falls somewhere on the narcissist scale. The idea that one is divinely ordered to behave a certain way to the extent that one will deny the law — is not healthy. It’s as if she feels she is single-handedly holding back the forces of evil. This is Fantasy Novel material.
