My response to you was objective. The nonsense you were parroting doesnt stand hitorical scrutiny, and was a puerile attempt first tossed about during the reformation, and then adopted by atheists, in a lame attempt to discredit Catholic doctrine.
The fact remains that the concept of the trinity was spoken of early by Church fathers. You employ the common logical fallacy of taking two disparate issues (The Nicean council, and prior Roman paganism) and attempt to bridge the two with nothing more substantive than some vague suggestion that Constantine must have made them do it.
But to accept your premise one must ignore earlier Church writings, scripture, and the prior examples of early Church fathers discrediting the very same theories you espoused with no prompting from Roman emperors.
The fact remains that Christ speaks at length in scripture of having communicated with the Father, of the Father havign sent the Holy Spirit, of joining with him once more etc etc etc. Clearly He was speaking of distinct beings, distinct, and yet one.
Now you are under no obligation to accept the efficacy of scripture. That isnt the discussion. But you are obligated not to misrepresent the faith by employing shallow, misleading, false, or agenda driven statements of historical fact. Your facts are incorrect, as are your conclusions.
