		<description>Al, point taken.  But I would like to point out that despise does not equal hate and that I haven&#039;t given up on them entirely.  Surely you&#039;re not saying that harmful behavior is exempt from criticism just because we&#039;re Christians?  Kind of like you&#039;re criticizing me for being self-righteous... you believe I&#039;m behaving badly and you called me on it.  What&#039;s wrong with that?  And while I&#039;ll admit to being overly harsh, it is not a fair characterization to say that I hate them.  I didn&#039;t use that word, and I don&#039;t hate them.  

Lawyers, like doctors, chose to be in a profession where they have the potential to do a lot of good, or cause a lot of hurt.  That&#039;s why lawyers are bound to ethical requirements, not just legal standards.  When they abrogate that responsibility - or as these students did, reject it entirely - they deserve to be criticized for it.</description>

		<description>I agree:  to whom much is given, much is required.  Which is why we should show love, grace, and compassion to lawyers who have gotten trapped in sin.

I think that &quot;hating lawyers&quot; isn&#039;t a particularly righteous thing to do. It&#039;s actually kind of self-righteous.  But he who has been forgiven much loves much, Jesus said. Self-righteous hate is simply a failure to recognise that I am full of sin too. 

Don&#039;t forget, everyone hated tax collectors, but Jesus loved them and offered grace.  If we belong to Christ, that&#039;s our calling too.</description>
