Of course. Both honest anthologies and dishonest ones... like the one you cut and pasted from.
Do you deny the legitimacy of those well documented quotes?

Do you deny the legitimacy of those quotes? Were they not accurate? Were they made up by that site? Do they lose credence if they are quoted on a religious site?
