He's cool. And wouldn't you know it, the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches consider him a heretic (and Protestants would too if they were aware of any theologian who existed between 100 CE and 1500 CE). He thought that the concept of original sin is bullshit and humans are capable of achieving perfection. Basically, us humans are ok. His views lost out to Augustine and his "humans are utter crap and are born sinful so we all deserve eternal torment" kinds of views.
Wiki: Pelagius was later enshrined as a Christian martyr and canonized as "Saint Pelagius." His observation is celebrated on 26 June. The cult of Saint Pelagius is thought to have provided spiritual energy for centuries to the Reconquista and is seen by some modern scholars as part of a pattern of portraying Islamic morality as inferior to other moral theories.
"We have the best morality cuz of this one guy we would totally kill on sight"
I'm so confused. How could this kid, who was killed at age 13 and declared a martyr for refusing to denounce his Christian faith for Islam, say any thing he is quoted as saying and also look like an old ass man? Is this whole picture a damn lie? Also, not really the kid's fault for the cult. He was only 13.
