Being obsessed with justice and fairness, and an inability to take a more nuanced approach, could indicate a stalling of psychological development (e.g. stuck in Piaget's preoperational stage, age 2-7).
An obsession with cruel punishment is something else entirely; that smacks of outright psychopathy.
The infantilization of believers is a feature of many religions rather than a bug. The desire to see someone in agony could be informed by the "us versus them" mindset of religious cults.
