Should have asked me. We actually say the Nicene Creed every week at our church (protestant, not catholics). And the council was called to discuss a response to Arianism.

You're in like the 99th percentile on knowledge right off that bat.
@dnc has probably read it in the original Koine Greek.
Πιστεύομεν εἰς ἕνα Θεὸν Πατέρα παντοκράτορα, πάντων ὁρατῶν τε καὶ ἀοράτων ποιητήν·
καὶ εἰς ἕνα Κύριον Ἰησοῦν Χριστόν τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ, γεννηθέντα ἐκ τοῦ Πατρὸς [μονογενῆ, τοὐτέστιν ἐκ τῆς οὐσίας τοῦ Πατρός, Θεὸν ἐκ Θεοῦ,] Φῶς ἐκ Φωτός, Θεὸν ἀληθινὸν ἐκ Θεοῦ ἀληθινοῦ, γεννηθέντα, οὐ ποιηθέντα, ὁμοούσιον τῷ Πατρί,

I was just in Pompeii, and you see all of the\ walls were adorned with frescos of roman myths, which are mostly ripping off greek myths. Then you go to the Vatican and you see they have walls adorned with a bunch of Christian myths.
On the one hand, I found comfort in the timeless humanity of it. How similar people are/were even when life was much harder, and usually shorter. They had their arenas; we have our arenas. They painted pictures of people in robes doing fake shit, and modern people continue the trend. It's almost like we can't help ourselves.
On the other hand, you start to realize that everyone's myths are basically copies of older myths, that are often lost to time but not always. Many societies have stories about virgin births. Most of the parables purported to be from JHC in the New Testament or "Christian" takes on pagan parables, which are probably older than the pagans. I know the flood and all of that from the old testament was basically stolen from the Epic of Gilgamesh so that' true for the Jews too.
In summary, it's all a crock of shit.

Alternative theory
There is something that has caused all these similarities since the dawn of time for humans. The rock we are on is billions of years old. We've been here a couple of seconds

Mrs Throbber v1.0 had a theory that REAL God sprinkled his basics across the entirety of the globe (or flat earth as the case may be).
Then man fucked up the basics to his own agenda - and because of distance, the fuckery became more pronounced over time. And viola! Religions.
