Yes. Although it is not my agenda, I would like to think that some day someone can use some of these quotes to confound some fundie. Especially as many will not be aware of these gospels or the seemingly arbitary way they did not make it into the bible. It wont change the minds of anyone but it can be ammunition against the easiest of targets. For example, next time omnipotence comes up, hit them with the gospel of philip:
The world came about through a mistake. For he who created it wanted to create it imperishable and immortal. He fell short of attaining his desire. For the world never was imperishable, nor, for that matter, was he who made the world.
