And it’s not really news that heretics get butchered - this is a feature of religions, not a bug. It’s also more than a little disingenuous of you to suddenly complain about this feature, since you’ve repeatedly gloried in the deaths of non-Muslims, you self-righteous, sanctimonious hypocrite.

If that council was so "well known and recognized" to be the source of the decree taken by the church to recognize "Jesus" as a heavenly son of God, then why isn't the difference stated clearly between "Nicene Christians" and between "normal Christians"?
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.
