Fundies Say the Darndest Things

Fundies Say the Darndest Things (FSTDT) is a website dedicated to logging the sheer inanity of statements made by fundamentalists of all types. Perpetrators also include secular proponents of stupidity, demonstrating that Bible-thumpers don't have an outright monopoly on the crazy and outlandish. The most commonly recurring topics of submitted quotes include evolution, homosexuality, feminism, and the Establishment Clause.
While many of the quotes come from random internet forum users and bloggers, sometimes actual news sites make it in, though usually bottom-tier news like WND. These are worth submitting to WIGO Clogs (and vice versa). Furthermore, some quotes come from legitimate news articles reporting on insane things that fundies have done or said.
==In relation to Poe's Law==
In the clamour to get ever more insane speeches and quotes, the site invariably suffers at the hands of Poe's Law. A few quotes do come from what can be considered "legitimate" sources such as various Christian forums, so they can be taken as genuine. However, there have been examples of very deep cover parodists on some websites throwing out quotes insane enough to be featured. Often, the comments that have been posted for each quote will enlighten readers as to whether some quotes are obvious hoaxes, but ambiguity more often than not remains and the only conclusion is that at least some of these people are, in fact, for real.
==Spin-offs==
The site has since spawned three spin-offs, concentrating on the quotes of racists,Racists Say The Darndest Things (RSTDT) conspiracy theorists,Conspiracy Theorists Say The Darndest Things (CSTDT) and sexists.Sexists Say the Darndest Things The third spin-off, Sexists Say the Darndest Things, is a relative newcomer, and was long requested in the comments section before its creation. Usually, these are just as, if not more so, batshit crazy than their fundie counterparts. It features quotes by men's rights activists, incels, and radfems. In all seriousness, avoid going and reading the racism one if you want to retain any faith in humanity (ditto for any of the really sexist/homophobic postsWe mean it.). With FSTDT and CSTDT, you can assume Poe's Law or have a chuckle or perhaps think that these people will eventually see sense, although CSTDT applies little reason and most members have an agenda to make the term "conspiracy" synonymous with "delusion". The following is one of the tame ones — others include, to the best of anyone's knowledge, a very sincere post about actually lynching a man.
==Classic quotes==
Without wanting to recreate the entire list, these are a selection of some of the shorter, yet still quoteworthy entries submitted to FSTDT.
Words of wisdom by Andrew Schlafly was added to the site in November 2009 following one of his more...erm...interesting insights. In the context of FSTDT and Poe's Law, this quote is interesting since — to the best of anyone's knowledge — Schlafly is 100% for real: 
More of Schlafly's quotes have frequently been featured on FSTDT. Due to the infamy gained from his Conservative Bible Project, he was voted "2009 Fundie of the Year" in the FSTDT board with 94.8% of the vote.Poll Question: Who is the Fundie of the Year? In addition to the CBP, which gave him his fifteen minutes of fame in late 2009, this could be attributed to the large volume of material Schlafly generates through editing Conservapedia, and that because we know he's a real person and not just some faceless internet user, we can be (pretty) sure he's real and not faking it.

And then there's this. (Warning: May cause headaches.)Which was so utterly nonsensical that it got the author thrown off the board he posted it on. What?

*Free Republic — also a frequent target for FSTDT due to coverage of political extremism in addition to religious fundamentalism
*Moonbattery — another frequent target, arguably even more extreme right-wing than Free Republic in that it frequently contains overt racism
