{{quote|''"That's the beauty of Heaven... we can leave our brains behind."''|[httphttps://fstdt.netcom/QuoteComment.aspx?QID{{=}}61678J9Z3 A RaptureReady forumgoer, unintentionally explaining most of the site]}}
 
[httphttps://fstdt.com/Default.aspx Fundies Say the Darndest Things], often abbreviated to [[FSTDT]], is (to use its own description) "an archive of the most hilarious, bizarre, ignorant, bigoted, and terrifying quotes from fundies all over the internet". Or, in other words, it's a community dedicated to mocking religious and political stupidity.
 
The history of FSTDT is a surprisingly simple one. The initial administrator, WinAce, found religious stupidity humorous, so he decided to set up an archive for the craziest of the crazies. He called it Christians Say the Darndest Things, but quickly changed it when he realized that Christian fundamentalists aren't the only people capable of saying outrageous things. Unfortunately, three years after the initial creation of the site, WinAce [[Author Existence Failure|passed away from cystic fibrosis]].
 
However, this wasn't the end of FSTDT as a new administrator, Yahweh (who saw fundies in much the same way as WinAce), picked up where the first left off, both in the memory of WinAce and as a project to improve her coding skills. However, Yahweh found the task of rebuilding and recompiling the website to be far more difficult than she initially expected and ended up abandoning the project after a valiant effort.
 
The third and current administrator, Distind (who watches fundies in an attempt to figure out what makes them tick), much more confident in his programming abilities, picked up where Yahweh left off and the site flourishesflourished under his command, until he passed the staff to thisShy around day2016.
 
Shy, the fourth administrator, managed the site with great efficiency, but because of burnout and manic depression, in 2019 he recruited Pryo as webmaster, who helped the site by moving to a better hosting service. As of 2020, they both still manage the site, along with a team of moderators. keeping material that goes back to the earliests incarnations of the site
At first glance, the site seems to mock conservative Christians exclusively, but it only seems that way because they tend to be [[Vocal Minority|the loudest]] (in English-speaking countries, anyway). Stupidity of any religious or political persuasion is fair game and the site's history has had a respectable number of quotes from antitheists, liberals and other non-conservative and non-Christian fundies.
 
At first glance, the site seems to mock conservative Christians exclusively, but it only seems that way because they tend to be [[Vocal Minority|the loudest]] (and, as they put in their [https://fstdt.com/assets/faq.html FAQ], fundies of other religions doesn't usually post in English-speaking countries(but when they do, anyway)they end in the site eventually]. Stupidity of any religious or political persuasion is fair game and the site's history has had a respectable number of quotes from antitheists, liberals and other non-conservative and non-Christian fundies.

=== This website contains examples of: ===
 
* [[Abusive Parents]]: Some of the quotes actually attempt to justify child abuse. One particularly horrifying example is [http://fstdt.net/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=23139&Page=3 this]. It advocates spanking children until they cry "tears of a broken will".
* [[Against My Religion]]
* [[All Blue Entry]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20151010045706/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=80911&Page=2#1283741 This] and its following post restate the OP ''entirely in [[TV Tropes]] links''.
* [[All Gays Are Pedophiles]]: [http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=12343 This] quote makes the assumption that ''her own brother'' is going to molest her son purely because he is gay.
* [[All Gays Are Promiscuous]]
* [[All Jews Are Cheapskates]]/[[Greedy Jew]]: [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20140805072430/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=79167 Some fundamentalists quoted on the site rehash the old conspiracy theory of Jews running the banks].
* [[Arab Oil Sheikh]]: Amusingly averted so far.
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]:
** [[Invoked Trope|Entitled by name]] in [https://web.archive.org/web/20150912021716/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=79897 this quote].

* [[Artistic License Astronomy]]: Not only is [https://web.archive.org/web/20120608061335/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=76077 the sun 32 miles in diameter], [https://web.archive.org/web/20151010103538/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=44889 it's also a planet].
* [[Artistic License: Biology]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20130824233853/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=67928 This]. Much of the site contains ridiculous arguments against the theory of evolution.
* [[Artistic License Chemistry]]:
** Apparently, [http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=72280 you can't combine oxygen and hydrogen to make water], and even the smartest man on Earth can't. {{spoiler|A pre-schooler can do it.}}
** Also, apparently [https://web.archive.org/web/20151010044824/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=85517 elements rarely react with each other], no one knows how chemical bonds form, and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mx5JJWI2aaw a solid and a gas couldn't possibly react].
* [[Artistic License Geography]]
* [[Artistic License History]]
* [[Artistic License: Law]]: Fundies often claim that the Constitution established the United States as a Christian nation. [https://web.archive.org/web/20151010054712/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=82495 This] quote claims that the Founding Fathers made it illegal for atheists to testify in court or to hold public office.
* [[Artistic License Physics]]:
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20130824140110/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=77098 The emission theory states that] [[Eye Beams|the light emits from our own eyes]], [[Artistic License Physics|not from the object we look at]].

* [[Artistic License Religion]]:
** Among other things, the [https://web.archive.org/web/20151016132933/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=58388 Bible] [https://web.archive.org/web/20151010052734/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=54946 apparently] [https://web.archive.org/web/20151010044542/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=39147 forbids] [https://web.archive.org/web/20121204044022/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=64700 interracial] [https://web.archive.org/web/20121204044028/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=15921 marriage]. <ref>Moses and his wife were an interracial couple, and God smote someone for complaining.</ref>
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20130825020621/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=60963 These] [https://web.archive.org/web/20151010044622/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=49625 two] are considerably worse.
** And as for getting other religions totally wrong, [https://web.archive.org/web/20151010052347/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=81042 this]. All you need to know about it is that it calls Buddhism "Japanese voodoo".
* [[Artistic License Statistics]]:
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20130825024826/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=65852 This].
** Not to mention [https://web.archive.org/web/20111127132409/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=49956 this].<ref>[[Captain Obvious|You have to take into account the previous statistics when you go up]], so there should be ''more'' than 24% with 100+ partners. But that would be if the statistics [[Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics|weren't complete BS]].</ref>
* [[Association Fallacy]]: [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20130917182619/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=87615 this] is a notable example.
* [[Beethoven Was an Alien Spy]]: The creators of ''[[Power Rangers]]'' are trying to teach children the [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20130925024650/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=74559 truth about reptilians!]
* [[Berserk Button]]:
** For FSTDT commenters, fundie quotes about rape, specifically those which attempt [[Never My Fault|to excuse the rapist]] or [[I'm a Man, I Can't Help It|to shift blame to the victim]]. [[Justified Trope|Naturally]], these particular quotes receive by far the most vitriolic comments and usually attain especially high Fundie Indexes. As a result, the [https://web.archive.org/web/20131102162535/http://www.fstdt.com/Top100.aspx?Archive=1 Top 100] [https://web.archive.org/web/20101221151025/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=64976 page] [https://web.archive.org/web/20101221145130/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=61701 contains] [https://web.archive.org/web/20130824221204/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=64100 a] [https://web.archive.org/web/20130824055610/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=74747 markedly] [https://web.archive.org/web/20130824231400/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=80416 disproportionate] [https://web.archive.org/web/20130825015753/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=73179 number] [https://web.archive.org/web/20130824080054/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=78607 of] [http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=81614 posts] [http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=79872 about] [https://web.archive.org/web/20130825083359/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=71305 rape].
** Posts promoting abusive parenting practices and similar abuse of children tend to get [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20130825085402/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=67487 similar] [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20130824085537/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=79263 enraged] [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20130824213005/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=64958 reactions]. Particularly [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20130825105041/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=69825 this one].
** Posts promoting bullying seem to be another [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20130825052948/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=83832 recent] [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20130918021904/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=87022 one].
* [[Black and White Insanity]]: According to [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20130824210239/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=82486 Gerald Polley] (who actually is a schizophrenic), [[There Are Two Kinds of People in the World]]: homophobic bigots (who he thinks are good) and [[Depraved Homosexual|Depraved Homosexuals]] who engage in [[Parental Incest]].
* [[Blatant Lies]]:
** [http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=65358 "I'm not racist, but... black people are an insult to our race."]
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptSjNWnzpjg "The MTV video for FEARLESS,] presents [[Taylor Swift]] [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20170904182957/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=70089&Page=4 as if being offered [to the occult]."]
** [http://fstdt.net/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=6309 "The viking kingdoms were orderly, peaceful lands of serene wisdom and love."]
** [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20120712170032/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=87230 "In one speech, Obama viciously attacks Sarah Palin and then admits to the world the he was born in Kenya, all while knowing that he will soon be declaring Martial Law due to the soon to be Obama Birth Certificate Natural Born Citizen Uprising and Mass Protests and will cancel the 2012 elections."]
* [[Boomerang Bigot]]: Commenter [[Tropers/Brendan Rizzo|Brendan Rizzo]] is an American (still living there) who really, really hates America. He used to make posts defending his country from anti-American attacks but [[Madden Into Misanthropy|got fed up with it all]].
* [[Born in the Wrong Century]]: Deconstructed by the fundies who express nostalgia for earlier times. [[Values Dissonance|They approve of the bad aspects of those times as much the "good" ones.]]
* [[Burn the Witch]]: [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20130825021552/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=87302 Yep.]
* [[But You Screw One Goat!]]: [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20131025090102/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=74052 "When you grow up on a farm in Georgia, your first girlfriend is a mule."]
* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: [http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=70373 Sometimes].
* [[Commie Nazis]]: Many fundies believe that Obama (or liberal politicians in general) are [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|gay Marxist atheist Muslim pinko commie Nazis]]. Yes, ''[[You Fail Religious Studies Forever|atheist Muslim]]''.
* [[Daydream Believer]]:
** "[[Rouge Angles of Satin|Leviathon]] [sic] [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20130824134730/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=60847 is a spirit I have battled as well...]"
*** [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: The confrontation in question took place at [[McDonald's]].
** Atheira believes ''[[Harry Potter (Franchise)|Harry Potter]]'' and ''[[Avatar (film)|Avatar]]'' [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20130925024117/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=84620 really happened in alternate realities]. (The "authors", who are really channelers, just changed the names for some reason.)
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]:
** According to [https://web.archive.org/web/20151010051948/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=86463 this quote], God punished Japan with the 2011 tsunami because Japan is the center of the video game industry.
** Harry Lyon and Tim Lennox suggest that [https://web.archive.org/web/20120608062612/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=86630 any illegal immigrant who sets foot in the state of Alabama] ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20120608062612/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=86630 be shot on sight]''.
** Many of those quoted believe that people will suffer [[And I Must Scream|eternal torment]] for arbitrary things such as homosexuality or even merely having a different belief. It's particularly disturbing since some of the quotes go into extremely graphic detail as to what they believe will happen to their [[Designated Villain|"enemies"]].
* [[Does Not Like Men]]: "[httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20130825081158/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=71770 A penis is a] [[Accidental Innuendo|fucking weapon]]!"
* [[Does Not Like Women]]:
** [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20130825083359/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=71305 fschmidt], as well as everyone else on love-shy.com.
** Vox Day is another one, claiming, among other things, that there's no such thing as marital rape.
** As is KHETLASER, who is too misogynist ''[[Serial Escalation|even for the aforementioned love-shy.com]]''. It is also possible that he is a pedophile.
* [[Double Standard]]:
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20131025182659/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=70049 This]. Also, [https://web.archive.org/web/20151010045917/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=82717 this].
** The commenters have a version of this as well. Whenever an American fundie is quoted, a small subset (mostly Headache) of the non-American commenters will blame the USA as a whole for the existence of its fundies, but this ''never'' happens when the fundie quoted is from elsewhere, and if an American tries to claim such, the other commenters show him no mercy.
*** Some commenters will not only "blame the USA as a whole for the existence of its fundies", but they are so bent on doing this that [https://web.archive.org/web/20151010051346/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=80880&Page=2#1282988 if a quote is stupid enough they will just assume it's American and then proceed to bash Americans for their stupidity. This quote is from Canada].
* [[Dude, She's Like, in a Coma]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20151010045531/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=58637 This quote] seems to suggest this trope.
* [[Dumbass Has a Point]]: Sometimes (albeit very occasionally) the fundies quoted also say something reasonable in their rant, which is usually acknowledged by at least one commenter.
* [[Eagle Land]]: The American fundies are [[Sarcasm Mode|shining]] examples of Flavor 2 (not to say that other countries don't have their own fundies). Unfortunately, because the USA is so much more populated than the rest of the English-speaking world outside of Asia,<ref>The USA has one-quarter of the population of India, where English is also spoken as a third language.</ref> a naïve commenter could easily assume that all Americans are like that even though that is not the case. In fact, [[Single-Issue Wonk|Headache]], if he isn't a [[Troll]], seems to believe this, as the vast majority of his comments are about how the United States is "the land of the fat and the stupid" and how the American people deserve their country to be ruined because a minority of them vote for fundie candidates.
* [[Eats Babies]]: Apparently, [[Blatant Lies|because atheists have no morals]], logically they find eating babies [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20130825053921/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=73072 to be a perfectly acceptable activity].
* [[Enemy Civil War]]: When one religious nut criticizes another religious nut, expect a commenter to declare "FUNDIE FIGHT!"
* [[Enemy Mine]]: His4Life, one of the fundies often mocked on the site, will join the other commenters in chewing out racists.
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: FSTDT and Rapture Ready sometimes act like this to each other.
* [[Feeling Oppressed by Their Existence]]: Many quoted fundies feel this way towards gays, atheists, and basically anyone not like them.
Line 100 ⟶ 102:
** One commenter came up with "Chronic-Oppressive Reality-Disconnect Syndrome", or '''CORDS''', because [[Don't Explain the Joke|fundies want to bind everyone to atavistic "cords" of behavior]].
** And there was also this gem from a fundie doubtful of the existence of dark matter: "Fabricated Ad hoc Inventions Repeatedly Invoked in Efforts to Defend Untenable Scientific Theories", or '''FAIRIE DUST'''. Admittedly, it's quite impressive.
** Even more impressive, [https://web.archive.org/web/20140209043235/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=50081 one fundie] came up with "F.A.L.S.E. S.C.I.E.N.C.E. I.S. A.S. F.A.K.E. A.S. P.R.O. W.R.E.S.T.L.I.N.G.S. W.W.E. S.M.A.C.K.D.O.W.N.! = "Faith-filled Atheists Loving Simple-to-complex Evolutionary Stories Constantly Ignore Energy's Needed (Creating Energy Isn't Scientific). A Simple-to-complex Fictional Account Keeping "Evolution" as somehow Powering Random Operations Without Reaping Entropy (Second Thermodynamics Law*) Is Not Good Science! Without Working Energy, 'Scientific' model Always Contradicts Known (Continued)"
* [[Writers Cannot Do Math|Fundies Cannot Do Math]]: [http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=16695 This.]
* [[GIFT]]: No other way to explain [http://fstdt.net/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=68798 these] [http://fstdt.net/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=86418 quotes].
* [[A God Am I]]:
** Several quotes come from fundies who claim to be the second coming of Jesus, but [https://web.archive.org/web/20140209043802/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=81783 Mark Dreher] takes it [[Up to Eleven|further than any of the others]]. At least he confessed to being a troll.
** Similarly, [https://web.archive.org/web/20140208131044/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=52783 Mariette] [https://web.archive.org/web/20140208174816/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=52831 Do-Nguyen] claims she is the Holy Spirit.
* [[God Is Evil]]: If he's anything like the God [https://web.archive.org/web/20140208175240/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=80865 this guy] believes in, or even the God of the fundies in general.
* [[Halfbreed]]: One of the fundies' many [[Acceptable Targets]].
* [[He Who Fights Monsters]]:
** The users of the site sometimes display bigotry, double standards, research failures and the like despite ([[Troll|or because]]) the site is devoted to mocking those very qualities.
** However, a lot of posts are written in [[Sarcasm Failure|sarcasm]], and some of the more bigoted replies are often [[Poe's Law|Poes]].
** For example, some of the comments in response to the commenters whatever and SpukiKitty in [http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=81147 this thread].
** Trolls and fundies posting to try and call out quote posters notwithstanding, there are 28 pages of quotes from the search word "FSTDT".
* [[Hitler Ate Sugar]]: Far too often. Running a search of the name "Hitler" yields 49 ''pages'' of results as of this edit, some of them comparing him to [[Barack Obama]].
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20140208175312/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=87268 This] is one of the most obvious examples (though it doesn't concern Hitler himself).
* [[Hollywood Evolution]]: Oh, so very much. A huge proportion of people ranting about the "EVILutionists" have no idea how the Theory of Natural Selection works... especially whoever came up with [https://web.archive.org/web/20130825044015/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=60638 these].
* [[Hollywood Psych]]
* [[I'm a Humanitarian]]: According to one fundie, [http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=69008 cannibalism is atheist doctrine].
* [[Implied Death Threat]]: The fundie Mark Dreher makes one to the commenter D Laurier [https://web.archive.org/web/20150921204402/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=81890 here]. For context, an earlier quote submitted to the site established that Dreher [[A God Am I|believes himself to be God]], so when he claims that God would kill a person, ''he is thinking about doing so himself''.
* [[Insane Troll Logic]]: There are ''many'' examples of this:
** One that sticks out: [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20140419052351/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=74065 Obama is going to repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Therefore, the entire adult population of the USA is going to be drafted into the military].
*** [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20131025204240/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=78372 Here's another one.] The poster says that trying to change the laws to allow gays to marry is like trying to change gravity. It actually won the [[Insane Troll Logic]] award.
** In [https://web.archive.org/web/20150921163716/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=82196 this post], the poster claims to have found photographic proof of [[BeyonceBeyoncé]] being a lizard-person while at the same time admitting he photoshopped the image.
* [[In the Blood]]: In response to a fundie ranting about how gays should not be allowed to donate blood: "[http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=83864&Page=1#1333202 [A]fter the transfusion, do you suddenly get an intense desire to watch musicals and decorate houses?]"
* [[I Reject Your Reality]]
* [[It Is Pronounced "Tro-PAY"]]: [[Inverted]]. Wiley thinks that "''raison d'être''" is pronounced "raisin date", and ''actually spells it that way''. [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20140802070900/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=81648 See for yourself].
* [[It's All About Me]]: Many fundies seem to believe this, even though one would think that they would not because their religion teaches otherwise.
* [[Jade-Colored Glasses]]: Prolonged exposure to the stupidity and maliciousness of fundies can cause this. It has already happened to a few of the commenters.
* [[Jerk Justifications]]: [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20140803072841/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=83832&Page=1 This guy] attempts to justify bullying against those who break social norms (particularly gender roles). [[Berserk Button|This did not go over well with the commenters.]]
* [[Let Them Die]]: A common response to a fundie who has said something completely despicable is [[Kill It with Fire|"Die in a fire."]]
* [[Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics]]
* [[Logical Fallacies]]: Every fallacy in the book is demonstrated by the fundies, but [http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=76597 this one] is the cream of the crop. It somehow manages both to use circular logic and ''to refute itself''.
* [[Maligned Mixed Marriage]]:
** At least one person on the site provides an excellent example the maligning when he says there is no love whatsoever in any of them. [https://web.archive.org/web/20150903203340/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=74427 This] lovely fellow takes things a step further by implying that white women who marry black men deserve to be killed by Jack the Ripper.
** [http://sarahmaidofalbion.blogspot.com/2010/02/spot-victim.html And here's] a post from the writer of that blog gloating that a woman in an interracial relationship was killed by her lover.
* [[Manchurian Agent]]: Marion Knox believes that people are deliberately given [[Split Personality|split personalities]] with alters such as three-year-old sex slaves used to send sensitive information back and forth between politicians and world leaders.
* [[Medal of Dishonor]]: Some quotes earn sarcastic "awards" of this nature.
* [[Mind Screw]]: [http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=13471 This.] [[Flat What|What.]]
* [[Mushroom Samba]]: Besides [[Blatant Lies]], [http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=60847 there is no other explanation].
* [[New Age]]: A relatively common target of the fundies, but there are a few quotes from actual people in the New Age movement.
* [[Next Sunday ADA.D.]]: "[https://web.archive.org/web/20150924031549/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=86840 If Obama declared himself dictator tomorrow, what would our military do?]"

* [[No Sympathy]]: [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20120715060022/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=86822 Here] is a horrible post to someone who is depressed and self-injuring. Instead of offering encouragement or sympathy, he calls their problems a sin and lays a guilt trip.
* [[Non Sequitur]]: Plenty, but [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20150915220756/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=81851 this] stands out.
* [[Our Demons Are Different]]: You should eat them... and [https://web.archive.org/web/20150924012216/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=82430 use them] [[Shin Megami Tensei|like]] [[Pokémon]]!
* [[Poe's Law]]: The site is infamous for this. Pretty much everyone from contributors to administrators has trouble distinguishing, though if a posted quote is later discovered to be a Poe, it can be removed from the site.
* [[Point and Laugh Show|Point And Laugh Site]]
* [[Politically-Incorrect Villain]]: Quite a few. Bryan Fischer has many instances of this, but perhaps his most notable is when he appropriated Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have A Dream" speech to promote discrimination against homosexual people. DoctorDoom (no relation to ''[[Doctor Doom|that]]'' [[Doctor Doom]]) is this so much, a wall of shame has been built here:

* [[Quote Mine]]: Quite a sizeable chunk of the site.
Line 168 ⟶ 172:
* [[Readings Blew Up the Scale]]: A common response to an ironic statement made by one of the fundies whose statements have been quoted is that it has "destroyed [the commenter's] irony meter."
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: Some of the commenters are great at pulling this off. Others... not so much.
** [[Otaku|Anon-e-moose]] has gained such a reputation for doing this (especially to fundies who hate [[Anime]] or [[Manga]]) that [https://web.archive.org/web/20151007054634/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=83711&Page=1 other commenters started getting worried when, three pages in, he hadn't responded to this.]
* [[Red Scare]]: Some of the fundamentalists on the site seem to think everything is a communist conspiracy. [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20130924233929/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=84846 This] quote contains the assertion that railways owned by the state is Marxism.

** Some of the most notable fundies on the site are AV1611VET, dad, JohnR7, Supersport, Carico, LoneWolf1984, DoctorDoom, Bro. Randy, savagesusie, [[Conservapedia|Andrew Schlafly]] and [[He-Man Woman Hater|fschmidt]].
** A commenter came up with another list, including fundies who are just plain evil, rather than stupid. The only names in common with the above list are DoctorDoom and fschmidt. The others are [[Evil Reactionary|Proph]], [[I'm a Man, I Can't Help It|Feynman and Coulter's Love Child]], [[Nazi Grandpa|alanorei]], [[Those Wacky Nazis|Hunter Wallace]], [[Abusive Parents|Ronald E. Williams]], [[Useful Notes/American Political System|Rick Santorum]], [[Corrupt Hick|Gonzo]], [[The Fundamentalist|Bryan Fischer]], [[Heteronormative Crusader|Scott Lively]], [[Propaganda Machine|David Barton]], [[Path of Inspiration|Warren Jeffs]], [[Female Misogynist|Phyllis Schlafly]], and [[The Sociopath|Vincent Cheung]].

** There are several examples, but [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20140802210210/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=1231 this particular quote] becomes [[Narm|unintentionally hilarious]] as a result.
** Also, [https://web.archive.org/web/20140913103648/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=71901 this one] actually makes one of the trope naming errors.

** Apparently [https://web.archive.org/web/20150923190830/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=18017 being gay] means you will live a shorter life. Gee, we [[Driven to Suicide|wonder]] [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown|why]] [[Obstructive Bureaucrat|that]] [[Internalized Categorism|is]].

* [[Serial Escalation]]: "[[What an Idiot!]], no one could possibly get more stupid than... [[Oh Crap]], they just did."
** An excellent example is Cassiterides, who seems hell-bent on denying [[Science Is Wrong|every scientific theory in existence]]. He apparently believes that [https://web.archive.org/web/20120608061335/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=76077 the sun is only 32 miles in diameter], [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20130824140110/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=77098 that vision is due to light being emitted from one's eyes] (never mind [[By the Lights of Their Eyes|the obvious]] [[Glowing Eyes of Doom|implications of that]]), that ''[httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20130824164834/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=77519 gravity]'' is an unproven hypothesis, that [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20131026033957/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=77569 disease is due to animals overstepping their boundaries] (never mind that [[Sadly Mythtaken|this conflicts with even fundamentalist Christian theology]]), and that [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20131026024257/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=77625 all the people who oppose creationism are secretly creationists]. [[Face Palm|Face, meet palm]].
** Supersport is also notable in this regard. In his quest to deny modern science he has claimed that [https://web.archive.org/web/20151007070213/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=23311 wild animals don't get sick], [https://web.archive.org/web/20151007070443/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=22575 that smallpox vaccinations might actually cause smallpox], [[Somewhere a Paleontologist Is Crying|that the fossil record disproves evolution]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20151007003421/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=31398 because we don't find fossils of animals with eyes on their feet], that he can explain why [[You Fail Geology Forever|fossils of larger animals are always found in the "higher stratas" [sic] of the geologic column]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20151007054856/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=31265 because he once shook a can of mixed nuts and the larger nuts ended up on top], [https://web.archive.org/web/20151007055050/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=21998 that bacteria developing immunity to antibiotics is an example of Lamarckian Evolution], that if you get a tan your offspring [https://web.archive.org/web/20150904025854/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=63204 will have darker skin than you], [[Artistic License Physics|that E=mc2 is wrong]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20151007055008/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=28277 because it contradicts Newton's Law of gravity], [https://web.archive.org/web/20130905131243/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=30247 that we can't assume light travels to us instead of our eyes traveling to it], [[Artistic License Physics|that the actions of molecules]] [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20130917204936/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=29548 are a mental process], that scientists don't know [https://web.archive.org/web/20151007044204/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=34178 what DNA is or what it does], that it's "[[You Fail Logic Forever|logical]]" that dinosaurs lived at the same time as large mammals and that [https://web.archive.org/web/20130905131345/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=33771 paleontologists dig up unfossilized dinosaur bones that contain "rotting flesh"], that humans might be able to [https://web.archive.org/web/20130905131447/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=37238 regenerate limbs], that bacteria have [https://web.archive.org/web/20151007032222/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=36355 organs and bones], that cancer is not a disease but a [https://web.archive.org/web/20130905131537/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=35179 self-defense mechanism], that [https://web.archive.org/web/20130905131721/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=37373 genetics and the theory of evolution cannot explain recessive traits], and that scientists never talk about the evolution of plants because [https://web.archive.org/web/20130905132545/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=51962 plants don't have sex].

Amongst all the people quoted on FSTDT, Supersport's claims are so unbelievable that on the FAQ, Distind singles him out as someone he still cannot understand, despite years of trying. As of this edit he has been quoted 148 times!
*** The two are so unbelievably stupid that some have suggested that ''Cassiterides is Supersport's kid'', hoping that there is no way that two people so stupid could exist independently of one another.
** A new contender to the title of "dumbest person on the Internet" is Self-Mutation. He has made such stupid statements as that [https://web.archive.org/web/20130905134157/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=83091 a crucifix will not shake during an earthquake] (because [[You Fail Geology Forever|earthquakes are caused by the devil]]), that [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20130824222343/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=83092 God is the only reason that the rules of basic arithmetic stay internally consistent], that [https://web.archive.org/web/20130905134251/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=83118 atheists will not accept the truth of religion no matter how much "evidence" they are given], that [https://web.archive.org/web/20130905134309/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=83119 scientists refer to science textbooks as Holy Writ, instead of, you know, actually doing the scientific method], that [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20130825005356/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=83161 critical thinking is a religion] (and that it is a bad thing), that [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20131025085956/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=87136 radiometric dating doesn't work on objects of known age]<ref>Just because something was recently manufactured does not mean the raw materials are young.</ref>, that [https://web.archive.org/web/20130905134500/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=87346 God would actively prevent atheists from learning of his existence], and that [http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=87349 China did not exist before the Flood] even after being '''given the evidence''' that shows otherwise. All things considered, he has been compared to Supersport by more than one commenter.
* [[Single-Issue Wonk]]:
** Several, but one who comes to mind is baileysmom from Rapture Ready, whose posts are ''always'' rants against gay people. She even derails [[Left Fielder|completely unrelated threads]] to take a swipe at them.
*** This became so common that at least one commenter has decided to post using that name, [[Troll|celebrating]] [[Parental Incest|the (fabricated) child abuse of the eponymous Bailey]].
** A more recent example is Headache, who is a commenter on FSTDT. Inevitably, when an American fundie is quoted, he ''will'' rant about how the United States of America sucks and how the American people are stupid and have no hope of ever matching the rest of the world in intelligence. He is quite fond of calling the US "batshit insane". True to this trope, he never talks about anything else with the vitriol that he reserves for Americans, and non-American fundies who are just as stupid or [[Hanlon's Razor|evil]] as any of the American ones tend to get little or no reaction from him.
* [[Stay in the Kitchen]]: One of them even [https://web.archive.org/web/20130905142321/http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=87333 wrote a poem] about how women should stay in the kitchen.
* [[Stop Being Stereotypical]]: Some of the site's fanbase are Christians who are tired of the fundies' shit.
* [[Stupid Sexy Flanders]]: Heterosexual variant: quite a few of the commenters are ashamed of themselves for considering Christine O'Donnell, and occasionally Sarah Palin, to be sexually attractive, when those women have made some of the most ignorant comments on the entire site.
* [[Tempting Fate]]:
{{quote| '''Creedence Leonore Gielgud''': "At least he's not claiming teh gays and Muslims are commies, and are in cahoots."<br />
'''His4Life''': "[http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID{{=}}76829 Creedence, I'll make that claim, and I can show you the uspporting [sic] evidence from firsthand documents as well...]" }}
* [[Trope Overdosed]]: It's surprising how many tropes there are in what is little more than a collection of unconnected quotations.
* [[Two Words: Obvious Trope]]: [http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=16695 "I can sum it all up in three words: Evolution is a lie."]
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?]]: Most of the quotes are pure Type 1.
* [[Word Salad Humor]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20130905150038/http://fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=11504 Unintentional example], but you try to figure it out.
* [[Yellow Peril]]: Usually on the subject of anime, but this sometimes happens regarding Asians in general, [[Asian Gal with White Guy|especially if it involves an Asian woman in an interracial relationship]].
* [[You Make Me Sic]]
