According to the standards we are all familiar with; "Nicene Christianity" is a cult adopted by Rome that crushed most -if not all- normal Christians and dominated through the might of the Roman empire.
Just like Shiite Muslims are a cult, Sunni Muslims are a cult. Each had an empire backing it up once.
I never heard about that council; that council and the decree resulting from it -which the Roman Church adopts- is hidden and concealed behind walls of text and countless words from the Roman Christian institution.
1. Because ‘Nicene Christians’ ARE ‘normal Christians’, you boob.
2. No. Nicene Christianity isn’t a cult. It is the normative form of Christianity. The Arianists were the heretical cult. Even before the Council, the overwhelming majority of rank-and-file Christians accepted the eternal Godhood of Jesus without question. The Arian Controversy was largely a spat between bishops.
3. Your face is a cult.
4. I am not responsible for your ignorance.

1- I never heard about the prefix "Nicene" preceding the identification of Christian neo-cultics that believe Jesus is son of God.
2-No. Nicene Christianity is a cult and actually had a big opposition; reaching the emperor of Rome himself; thus the council was held in the first place:
Quote:It was called by the emperor Constantine I, an unbaptized catechumen, who presided over the opening session and took part in the discussions. He hoped a general council of the church would solve the problem created in the Eastern church by Arianism, a heresy first proposed by Arius of Alexandria that affirmed that Christ is not divine but a created being. Pope did not attend the council but was represented by legates.

3- You're a trinity.
