The part that bothers me is how preachers / pastors , are set up as being something better, smarter, more spiritual or more worthy of honor or respect than everyone else.
The truth is people are flawed. Though we as Christians strive to love God and our neighbor, we often fail. Whether this failure takes the form of a person criticizing the preacher they just heard, or the form of the preacher using his sermon to verbally abuse another. I don't think that God is happy with either.

I think the reason is because most error by focusing on the person and not the position.
In a secular example, I have very poor opinions of our current President, but that in no way affects my respect for the position he holds. If I were to meet him I would show him just as much honor and respect as I would for a President that I endorsed.
It's not the person it's the position
