I realized that I have already blogged on the question of the subjectivity of rationality. Here, for example,

and here, where I wrote "I asked a physicist friend of mine the same question. His first answer was that he was certain of nothing, but he later corrected himself saying that he was certain of things in proportion to the evidence available."

and other places. I interpret your question: "Is rationality subjective?" to actually be the question -- what can I know for certain? what can I believe? As you say above

    I want to believe that there are absolutes

All of these is leading me to believe that there is nothing I can ever know for certain, which is something I suppose I already did know.
