Changes

During the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/90%27s 1990s], fundamentalists maintained their commitment to [[political]] [[action]], although developments at the national level, such as Pat Robertson's failed bid for the Republican presidential nomination in 1988, led many to [[focus]] on local or grassroots efforts. Control of local school boards became one of the most common objectives of fundamentalists in their attempts to influence public policy. They also adopted a more direct approach to expressing their opposition to trends within the [[entertainment]] industry through boycotts of entertainment production companies and their advertisers. Thus, although its prominence in national politics had declined, fundamentalism continued to offer a substantive [[critique]] of [[mainstream]] American [[culture]]. Finally, it has also provided a [[model]] for understanding the resurgence of militant religious traditionalism in other regions of the world, within religious cultures as different as [[Islam]], [[Judaism]], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinduism Hinduism]. In this sense, the term "fundamentalism" now applies not only to a conservative wing of evangelical Protestantism in the United States, but to a variety of [[analogous]] social trends, sometimes accompanied by the [[violence]] of "Holy war," that have developed around the [[earth|globe]].—[http://findarticles.com/p/search/?qa=Roger%20W.%20Stump Roger W.

The materialistic [[scientist]] and the extreme [[idealist]] are destined always to be at loggerheads. This is not true of those scientists and idealists who are in possession of a common [[standard]] of high [[moral]] [[values]] and [[spiritual]] test levels. In every age [[scientists]] and [[religion]]ists must recognize that they are on [[trial]] before the bar of [[human]] need. They must eschew all [[warfare]] between themselves while they strive valiantly to justify their continued survival by enhanced [[devotion]] to the [[service]] of human [[progress]]. If the so-called [[science]] or [[religion]] of any age is false, then must it either purify its activities or pass away before the emergence of a material science or spiritual religion of a truer and more [[worthy]] order.[http://urantia.org/cgi-bin/webglimpse/mfs/usr/local/www/data/papers?link=http://mercy.urantia.org/papers/paper132.html&file=/usr/local/www/data/papers/paper132.html&line=51#mfs]
