Yes, quite. There is a certain point here that ties in with Sarah's inflexible Evangelist faith, I think- and it can become dangerous in a political situation, or any other situation involving public trust and power.
These type of people are so convinced that they are 'right'- indeed, that they have the monopoly on what is 'right'- that in practise they can fail to see right from wrong. Another problem is that they are so convinced they are 'right'- indeed it can be no other way because they are the 'true Christians'- that it just plain can not be pointed out to them when they are in fact Wrong.
It is no different from any other form of Zealotry, such as Islamic fanaticism, in this regard.
