Fundamentalism is in extreme conflict with subjectivity which posits that experiences or objects are themselves mediums.
Fundamentalism posits that mediums are experiences by religiously sanctioning certain media and its inherent content.

Get the fundamentalism mug.It's not the religion that's the problem... It's the NOT CHANGING THE RELIGION... To fit modern liberal social sentiment like... The religion is fine so long as there aren't any gender roles and you're not condemnatory of the gays and women are allowed to do whatever they want and are =>Men and NEVER THE OTHER WAY AROUND..... Then, yeah, no the religion is great.
Hym "The fundamentalism! It's the looking at the words in the book... And NOT REINTERPRETING THEM... And accepting the assertions about morality that have supposedly posited by God... THAT is the problem... Otherwise it's great! I can use the authority of God to make people love and accept and not hurt me no matter what I do- Uh, I mean.. PEOPLE... You can use God to make people accept PEOPLE regardless of what they do and then BAM! Religion is fine now! You just have to carve out all of the parts I don't like! See? Then it's fine! Because obviously no one should be allowed to hate me, right? It's not like I'm some kind of manipulative, authoritarian pieces of shit that wants my own personal values deified and won't accept the validity of a religion that doesn't do exactly that! Right?"

Get the Christian Fundamentalism mug.All you have to do is let Christ into your heart and you're saved. The worst religion on the planet. Worse than Scientology. It's destructive. It preaches that being born is a sin and that nobody but God can help you. THIS gives these fascists the licence to do whatever they want, so long as they let Christ into their hearts, all will be ok because through Vicarious Atonenment, Jesus saved us all. whatEVER!
Bush: "What's Christian Fundamentalism? Well, I'm gonna bomb the fuck out of Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, and piss off Kim Jong Il with my hypocrisy and kill my own people by conspiring to have two planes launched into the twin towers in NY and a missile at the Pentagon....But it's ok, I'll just let christ into my heart and all will be forgiven"

Get the islamic fundamentalism mug.Rational Fundamentalism is a form of secular fundamentalism that's full based on rationalism, it seeks on the use of the philosophy of rationalism and positivism in order to justify secular fundamentalism and atheist fundamentalism as well, often calling religious, spiritual, extraphysical, supernatural and immaterial beliefs as "irrational" and fighting them anywhere and all the time. A good example of rational fundamentalism is rational imperialism, that takes rational fundamentalism into a way that all kinds of religious, spiritual, extraphysical, supernatural and immaterial beliefs, also including feelings and empathy, must be countered and everyone must follow rationalism, scientism, positivism and physicalism as its main beliefs.
"Rational Fundamentalism and Rational Imperialism are really common nowadays, they only show about how can rationalism, new atheism, anti-theism, materialism, physicalism, scientism and positivism so violent and aggressive nowadays, and how they all are no different from religious fundamentalism and of those who they call as "irrational"."
