Why is it when someone speaks against the "conventional custom" they're derided?

I went to the local Walmart Christmas Eve to get a Dairy Queen gift certificate to stick in my Mom's stocking. (She loves peanut parfaits). They were already taking down the Christmas candy and putting in the Valentine's day candy.

No one can accuse Walmart of being late in the game as far as Holiday's are concerned.  This year my local Walmarts had Christmas stuff out before Halloween. 

One time the local Walmart had Christmas stuff out at the same time as the back-to-school stuff was out. Yes that was before Halloween. Now they put it out after Halloween.

How many other "holy men" are still in their graves? Wait, that would be all of them!

His Divinity and rising from the dead is evidence enough for me. This is what truly matters.

Well Elijah had no grave as he was carried away to heaven. So he didn't even have to die first.

Elijah never tasted death. The only other holy man that never was buried. Of course, that was God's will.
