"If this is a diplomatic mission, where is your ambassador." "Hold your fire. There are no life forms" "If there is a bright center of the universe, you are on the planet farthest from" "help me Obi-wan Kenobi. You're my only hope" "That's a name I haven't heard in a long time", ...

Besides the other comments talking about your misuse of Pharisees (and that taking entire groups and assigning them with a behavior is inherently a problem), for your bringing up the Pharisee and the Publican parable, maybe consider this additional context www.betterparables.com/two-men-in-t...

Then around the time of Roman (and previous) occupations people were thinking "a G-d looking out for us would send someone to Save us"

There isn't any Messiah in the Torah. it is a tiny part that appears in later writings. The Torah has the covenant (like a two-way binding contract where Jews are bound collectively and individually) at Sinai where Jews agreed to "in exchange for being our G-d, we will do these rules."

So it could be that someone who learned the bible says "Pharisees are the bad guys" isn't thinking they are learning to hate a caricature of Judaism, but it could be that the teacher had it in mind (or their teacher, or their teacher), but the unexamined belief is still carrying that message

A lot of Christian teachings conflate all of the groups Jesus argues with, and ignore the good interactions and turn Pharisees into some sort of BigBad for Action Hero Jesus to defeat. For early church teachings, this was when the Jesus movement was trying to separate from Judaism.

Pharisaic teachings also becomes Rabbinic Judaism, pretty much the only form of Judaism to remain after the temple's destruction by the Romans.

The stories have Jesus upset with lots of groups for specific reasons (Herodians, Sadducees, Pharisees, Rome) and bad behavior (like hypocrisy) from anyaffiliation. Jesus also has good interactions with Pharisees too (teaching at their synagogues, sharing meals, warning him of danger)

If you poorly learned or forgot the studies from 36+ years ago, but remember the harmful stereotypes taught along them, maybe it a signal to stop leave both aside

This isn't even an example of an error in the text, but assumptions in your reading of it. The book's Tax Collectors were collecting Roman taxes. The temple priesthood (who the Sadducees aligned with) expected a Temple tithe which supported the community. Even in the text the Pharisees aren't there

How about "financial reporting requirements of churches should be public and at least as strict as other types of nonprofits"?

Just two foot?
