I don't think they have anything wrong with them which explains why they fell prey to fundamentalism. Rather, I think funneling all their thinking through what they take to be literal directives is deforming and diminishes their humanity in important ways. I only wish for their own sake they could approach their theism in a way that channeled more of their humanity. (Of course, we must constantly guard against their political intrusions into the public sector for our own sakes.)
