Constantine capitalized on a situation to control the masses in the year 325. The meeting in Nicaea was no different than Muhammad writing the Koran, or Joseph Smith reading (dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb) reading gold plates that suddenly disappeared.
Show me. Walk on water. Turn 10 fish into 10000 before my eyes.
I've been waiting my entire life for someone to show me something other than a basket to put my money into.
This is about control.

I have absolutely NO doubt that Jesus walked on water, turned a handful of fish and a few loaves of bread into enougth food to feed 5,000. He healed numerous people, and the long list of miracles are absolutely true beyond any doubt. Why, because I fully believe He is the Son of God. Now, if you want to say that the exact, precise language passed down from 50 to 2,000 years ago could have been changed to some degree, I am not in a position to argue that point, even if that includes a silly point such as the word "uh" or "hmm" was somewhere ommitted or added. However, in regards to the main story, the main points, the main demonstrations, et cet., it is accurately captured in the Bible. If you do not want to believe, then that is your free choice. No one is controlling you or forcing you to do anything. How you make that jump in "logic" is truly beyond me.
