The dude was so intensely unlikeable and life nitty and we got to see a bit of his soul in his talk with Shireen earlier in the season. The guiding principle to Stannis are duty and his claim to the throne is based on blood/family so yeah, just hand your little daughter over to the evil priestess. Like is this how Stannis wants to be remembered, the would-be king who was enslaved by an insane priestess and sacrificed his daughter to a bloodthirsty god?
Agreed. Were it not for the "you are my daughter" talk earlier this season then it would be a little more plausible. They went too far trying to trick us or whatever about his thought process.
