There are so many ways you can interpret Constantine's "vision" because there's no definitive document from the 4th century to clarify his claims. So we are left to speculate...
Don't forget, drug use was VERY prevalent with both political and religious leaders. Consider that many visions could be drug induced. Or they could just be 100% made up for whatever purpose the writer wanted. We just don't know.
What I can tell you is... "God" as we know it in religious writings didn't visit Constantine anymore than "he" visited Paul, or anyone else. "God" is a purely made up, human construct.
There are and have been many who would differ with you on that supposition.
And your evidence for that?
I'll turn it right back on you. What is your evidence supporting that statement?
I can walk in any Protestant church here in the South and get at least a dozen people speaking of their personal evidence of God.
I'll surely not waste hours jousting with you or anybody else over the evidence of God. Find somebody else.
You and your agnostic buddies can stroll on by any Methodist, Baptist, Catholic Church you choose and have at it.
Wouldn't have flown in any Catholic Church around here either. I can think of a couple Priests I've known(unfortunately now gone Home) that would have sat him down. listened and explained faith and belief if he was willing to listen. I've found that real "Men of God" aren't exclusive to any Christian religion.
