Not all Pharisees were that bad since some believed. Paul was a Pharisee.

Hypocrisy is bad in whoever has it and the Pharisees were worse since they were the religious teachers of the day and not only should have known better themselves but they also led many astray from the right path.

The Pharisees were a religious group in ancient Judaism who believed in strict adherence to the laws and traditions of their faith. While some Pharisees in The Bible are depicted in a negative light, it is important to remember that they were a diverse group with varying beliefs and practices. Not all Pharisees were necessarily "bad," and it is important to consider historical and cultural context when evaluating their portrayal in the Bible.
