Constantine only converted to Xtianity in the first place because his murders were so heinous that the Pagan priesthood of his day refused to absolve him of his crimes. According to Zosimus they had told him that no amount of lustrations could cleanse him of his malice. So he turned to the Christians who gleefully agreed they could do it with little more than a hand wave. Zosimus went on to say that once he had the whole empire in his grasp he no longer felt the need to conceal his evil disposition and vicious inclinations, but acted as he pleased, without control. That's the guy who decided on the contents of your holy book, and that of every other Xtian on earth (notwithstanding any remaining Gnostics). As to Cyril, he was openly an anti-Semite and viciously anti-Pagan, to the point that even his fellow Xtians were disgusted by his violent bigotry, especially after he instigated the murder of Hypatia under the pretext that her use of an astrolabe constituted "divination" and "witchcraft". In reality it was just a pretext because her popularity threatened his religious hegemony, and bolstered the arguments of his rival politicians, who were largely also Xtians. You can backwards rationalise this all you like, but your "Holy Fathers" were murderous psychopaths, and the rest of the history of your "Traditional Christianity" very much exemplifies it. Not to mention the fact that it wouldn't have a theology whatsoever were it not for wholesale plagiarism of Pagan philosophy, as is also true of Judajism and Islame.

As always anyone with more than half a brain cell continues to vehemently disagree, myself included. Were the worth of your belief system so self-evident then you wouldn't have had to force it on people, and might have understood from day one that inciting violent bigotry and hatred towards others of a different opinion is by no means a spiritual act. You can't even get the Golden Rule right ffs. Do NOT do to others what THEY do not want you to (ie. Take "No." for an answer.). Foisting your preferences on the unwilling is the hallmark of your faith, because you people are too insecure and compensatory narcissists to grasp the abject stupidity of your arguments, much less why others would conscientiously reject them. It's not a completion of ancient faith. It's a retard superstition masquerading as a religion, just as we were told by the likes of Celsus, Seutonius, Tacitus, Porphyry and so from day one. Hell even Thomas Jefferson referred to Xtianity as a violent superstition. His Pièce de Résistance was instituting separation of church and state in the USA to protect people from it (which he had proudly proclaimed on his tombstone).
The fact is that farcical superstition has so reliably produced genocide on a global scale for the past 2,000 years that anyone with half a wit must understand it to be a feature, not a bug, of that belief system. You can bury your head in the sand and deflect with "No True Scotsman" fallacies all you like, but the fact remains blatantly obvious to anyone with half a brain cell left in their head.
