Sometimes I wonder...

what happens to heretics

Sometimes I wonder if we have really exhausted the various heresies we could believe in.  There are so many heresies possible.  I'm in seminary, these are the things I think about.  First let's go over some of the classic heresies:

-gnosticism: Jesus was fully God but not fully human.  He probably didn't even have a body.  Matter and the material world is sinful and bad.
- marcionism: the God of the Old Testament is different than the God of the New Testament.
- montanism: if you die a martyr, you go to heaven.  

But what about all the other heresies out there?  Surely we can be more creative.  

How about some heresies like:
- allieism: warm cornbread that your roommate makes you actually saves you.  the one loophole.
- dinosanctificationism: dinosaurs were also made in the image of God, but they ended up sinning more than we did so God destroyed them during Noah's flood.
- kieslichism: if you eat unicorn poop, you live forever.
