Extreme phenomena seem to follow extreme beliefs of all sorts. That is a problem with extremity of all types, not with subjective truth. Proponents of absolute truth (of whatever kind) have caused much more injury that the proponents of subjective truth (as far as I can see). Although extremists of all types tend to be rude and horrible. If we could merely indoctrinate everyone to be polite and peaceful what a wonderful world it would be- irrespective of what people believed.
