Aww, but I think I have a board (well, blog) that's a real contender for Fundie Board of the Year, depending on when most of the quotes were posted. If we do have the "Fundiest Board of the Year" Award, I think these should certainly be in the running: - Conservapedia
- Moonbattery
- Free Republic
- Love-shy.com
- Evolution Fairytale Forum
I wouldn't add LS to the list, personally. Bunch of lame wannabe-rapists but not really fundie so much.

I wouldn't add LS to the list, personally. Bunch of lame wannabe-rapists but not really fundie so much. I think they're plenty fundie for the following reasons: [/b][/i] "My concern for level of pain of rape would be greater if it weren't for the fact that most American women deserve to raped because they oppose prostitution as a sexual outlet for men. Since they deserve to raped, I cannot concern myself with the pain rape causes them." -fschmidtCompare this with similar statements from fundamentalists: "To put it more clearly, if a woman consents to extramarital sex, she is committing a moral offense which is equal to that committed by the man who engages in consensual sex with her, or by the man who, in the absence of such consent, rapes her. Christianity knows no hierarchy of sins. Since only the woman who is not entertaining the possibility of sex with a man and is subsequently raped can truly be considered a wholly innocent victim under this ethic, it is no wonder that women who insist that internal consent is the sole determining factor of a woman's victimization find traditional Western morality to be inherently distasteful." -Vox Day"By getting married, the woman has consented to sex, and I don't think you can call it rape." -Phyllis Schlafly"Compared to most womens sexual nature, mens sexual nature is far closer to that of animals. So what? That is the way he is made. Blame God and nature. Telling your husband to control it is a fine idea. But he already does. Every man who is sexually faithful to his wife already engages in daily heroic self-control. He has married knowing he will have to deny his sexual natures desire for variety for the rest of his life. To ask that he also regularly deny himself sex with the one woman in the world with whom he is permitted sex is asking far too much. Deny him enough times and he may try to fill this need with another woman." -Dennis Prager"Now Moore, Jennifer Moore, 18, on her way to college. She was 5-foot-2, 105 pounds, wearing a miniskirt and a halter top with a bare midriff. Now, again, there you go. So every predator in the world is gonna pick that up at two in the morning. She's walking by herself on the West Side Highway, and she gets picked up by a thug. All right. Now she's out of her mind, drunk. And the thug takes her over to New Jersey in the cab and kills her and rapes her and does all these terrible things to her. And the thug is so stupid, he uses her cell phone, and the cops trace it back to him and they -- and they arrest him and charge him with murder. He had a prostitute girlfriend with him, and she's charged as an accessory to murder. But Jennifer Moore is in the ground. She's dead." -Bill O'Reilly[2.] They're transphobic. As any transgender people who have posted on the LS forum can attest to, LS posters regularly berate trans members. Below is a sample quote: "Sex changes shouldn't be permitted by a society, and it's the sign that our current society is sick beyond belief. Any surgeon who engages in this should immediately lose his license and serve time, and society should NEVER consider a person to belong to any other gender than the one nature gave her. If nature has made you a man or a woman, you will stay one. If you transgress this, you've just commited an aberration, and you've become an aberration yourself. You should be treated as such." -MesianCompared to remarks from other fundamentalists: “According to both Scripture and biology, there are just two genders, two and only two, male and female. Period. Pro-family advocates have from the beginning opposed the normalizing of transgenderism because it does gross violence to any rational view of human sexuality, and, even worse, will force women to share shower, bathroom and locker-room facilities with biological males.” -Bryan Fischer“And that’s what this ‘Transgender Rights and Hate Crimes’ bill does, is it makes men dressing as women or women, you know, who think they’re men as this incredible protected class. They can use, like, health clubs. I mean a man can go into the women’s showers of a health club under this bill. A man with a dress can teach in the public schools. And it is a hate crime if you even say anything.” -Brian Camenker[3.] They support rigid, manmade gender roles. To the LS posters men are supposed to fit the popular definition of "masculine" while women are supposed to be submissive or "feminine." They believe that men should hold more power in society than they already have, and oppose equality between the sexes: "It would seem justifiable from this understanding that a natural law exists, where women should never make more than men. We cannot encourage a healthy dating environment, or in fact any dating whatsoever if a woman's status is institutionally raised above a man's. I remember my mother telling me when she worked for a Japanese accounting firm that all the males were paid far more than women, because management knew men had to support families, while women just blew their own money on shopping. Sadly businesses like these are a thing of the past. We live in an era that doesn't acknowledge the natural role of hypergamy. It's for this reason that I think women should be paid less. In reality I'd speculate many women want to be paid less and have a breadwinner take care of them. But women just wanna have their cake and eat it too. They want to be infinitely successful, yet only date men who are more successful than them. If someone was to force lower pay on them and increase their male co-workers pay overnight, I imagine many lonely suitors would suddenly be swarming in attractive signals from their formerly equally paid female co-workers. It's almost as though monetary status can change a man from a '3' to a '7'." -drealm"Before I gave up on voting, I voted libertarian. I do not think people should have the right to harm each other. My libertarian solution to enforcing modesty of dress in women would be to only make rape illegal if it is unprovoked based on local community standards. Voting itself isn't really a right as much as a privilege that should be reserved for intelligent men." -fschmidt"Considering the hell men have to go through in the feminised world today where everything is skewed to favour women in all areas of life, but especially in the dating scene, then the new system would have to be one which would quickly and swiftly reverse the damage done to our societies by the incessant terrorism of men by feminism and it's policies propped p by governments and institutions. So I'd propose of system of male choice in the dating game. All I'd recommend is one law and one law only with regards to male-female relationships. No matter what a man says to or asks of a woman, a woman cannot say no. A no from a woman could be reported as easily to the Police as a current day rape, and would also be punishable by a jail sentence." -CobyWhat do other fundamentalists have to say about feminism and gender roles? "There is a relentless war being waged against American men that literally spans the entire extent of their lives. From the womb, in which a woman's "right" to abort a male baby for being male is defended but a similar right to abort a female baby for being female is vehemently opposed, to the grave, wherein the disparate impact of old age is ignored despite women living 5.2 years longer than men on the average, men are systematically, structurally and unstintingly under assault." -Vox Day“I know this is painful for the ladies to hear, but if you get married, you have accepted the headship of a man, your husband. Christ is the head of the household and the husband is the head of the wife, and that’s the way it is, period.” -Pat Robertson"If we took away women's right to vote, we'd never have to worry about another Democrat president. It's kind of a pipe dream, it's a personal fantasy of mine, but I don't think it's going to happen. And it is a good way of making the point that women are voting so stupidly, at least single women." -Ann Coulter“The problem today and the reason why society is like it is, is because men are being feminized and women are becoming masculine. You cannot say, ‘I was born this way’… I don’t care what scientists say, if you say you were born this way, then you’re saying, ‘God, you’re a liar! And I see this thing down here but I’m going to ignore it!’” -Bishop Eddie Long[4.] They support violence and murder: "Oh and FYI killing women, and making a political statemnt can be very effective, its something called terrorism, and it has brought major nations to their knees. Kill enough women, make it clear why, and then maybe then society will take you seriously. Im not saying i would do that; i have no desire to go to prison, but i would enthusiastically root for a person or group that would. Sometimes when one is hopeless, HATE is the only thing left going for a person; thats the way it is for me; ive replaced my desire to get a woman, which i know will never happen, with hatred...its not a bad substitute let me tell you that." -SociallyInept"I have often thought of this; and at this point i no longer have any qualms about doing it, except for the legal consequences, assault, and battery, possibly agrivated felony assualt. If there were some way to to that with out geting in trouble and being labled a woman beater i would more than gladly physically hurt any woman who hurt me emotionally or rejected me in a mean way. Becoming a serial killer is better, if you do it right, youll have time to flee the country, and then leave a note saying why you killed all the bitches as you leave to a non extradition nation.Women need to learn that being crul to men will have physical consequences." -SociallyInept"One day, a loveshy man will not be content with gunning down a few women.
One day, a man will take A THOUSAND of you bitches with him.
Then, maybe the world will sit up and take notice." -mikeEmyers"Yes, in fact I do admire Cho, The Columbine Duo, George Sodini and any other individual who has found the courage to do what they did and both deliver a warning to society and at the same time challenge our collective morality. I will neither retract, apologize or somehow make my opinion more palatable." -Rammspieler"Jerusalem is dominated by Orthodox Jews with a large Muslim minority. Both of these cultures are patriarchal and anti-feminist. For example, in Jerusalem, there are many sex-segregated buses where men sit in front and women sit in the back. This is enforced by Orthodox Jews who, rightly, believe in segregating the sexes. My family rode on one of these buses and it was very pleasant. How is this enforced? Read how a stupid American bitch was beaten for failing to comply. Go Orthodox Jews!" -fschmidtAs have other fundamentalists: "I want you to just let a wave of intolerance wash over you. I want you to let a wave of hatred wash over you. Yes, hate is good...Our goal is a Christian nation. We have a Biblical duty, we are called by God, to conquer this country. We don't want equal time. We don't want pluralism." -Randall Terry"When contemplating college liberals, you really regret once again that John Walker is not getting the death penalty. We need to execute people like John Walker in order to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize that they can be killed, too. Otherwise, they will turn out to be outright traitors." -Ann Coulter"Not only is homosexuality a sin, but anyone who supports fags is just as guilty as they are. You are both worthy of death." -Fred Phelps"And these are intelligent people, wealthy people. They are very depressed by the weakness that America is showing to these psychotics in the Muslim world. They say, 'Oh, there's a billion of them.' I said, 'So, kill 100 million of them, then there'll be 900 million of them.' I mean, would you rather die -- would you rather us die than them? I mean, what is it going to take for you people to wake up? Would you rather we disappear or we die? Or would you rather they disappear and they die? Because you're going to have to make that choice sooner rather than later." -Michael Savage[/ul]

Well, this being the last day of 2010 I suppose we should start having people weigh in on, what I'll call, the Golden Fundie Awards : )

Actually Distind knows the amount of posts and such necessary to qualify for an award so I guess I'll just wait till he makes a thread about it.

I think Free Republic and Moonbattery have actually outdone Rapture Ready in the fundie department this year. I agree. I think much of the reason why people see Rapture Ready as the nuttiest is because of their reputation, without much thought of the insanity from other boards. The awards don't necessarily go to the craziest. I think that Free Republic and Moonbattery are certainly crazier, but I find Rapture Ready's general silliness more amusing than people endlessly raging over whatever the hot topic of the day is.

See, Rapture Ready pretty much bores me now, unless they really go way the fuck over the top. Otherwise it's a bunch of stupid prayers and smileys.
