She basically believed something and if anything conflicts with it no matter how convincing and how much evidence backs it up she will reject it as a lie.

It is something called cognitive dissonance. It is where someone would rather believe a lie than the truth because the lie provides comfort whereas the truth removes the comfort.

It is all about self-delusion, thinking if the wind blows in a certain direction at a certain time that it must be a divine sign. Some people will delude themselves into seeing signs in the most mundane events if it supports their self-delusions.
