I came to this conclusion around highschool age, my take on the wording of this sentiment was usually "An omnipotent being fucked a women who then gave birth to his son/self, so that the child/clone could die to learn something he didnt before about the humanity he created"

also "I gave you free will, so you better use it to believe this story that you would never believe otherwise"

and finally "If i live life as a good person and get sent to hell because i didnt believe a fake sounding story then god is a pathetic narcissist and i want nothing to do with him anyways"

Im just thankful my parents would always ask "well what do you think?" whenever i asked them about religion. I always try to keep that in mind as a form of sympathy for people who were manipulated in childhood. "Faith" has better PR than "Ignorance".

My understanding is that the trinity from the nicene creed is a political document (not truthful nor religious) and it was designed to be universal(a translation of catholic) so that natives in each land (Christians and pagans) could have lip service that "we believe what you do" by the political catholic clergy who were the only ones allowed to interpret scriptures (or you had a Heretic death penalty) until the political power was secured, and after power was secured, a creed and rosary was enough to keep free thinking in line.
