Really? What about a professional gangster and a hit man? They are nice people with a high level of integrity , aren't they? "bent" cops? I checked out "occupation lists" and didn't find "professional gangster" or "hit man" or "bent" cops.
In fact the very use of such words reflect their lack of integrity.
So they are faux examples and can't be used pertaining to the conversation at hand.Ok, I'll give you another assignment, check out the ancient occupation lists for carpenters and fishermen and see if Jesus and Perter are on any. Make sure you check every possible list. Since you seem to enjoy doing such research.

Mahatma Gandhi? Noë Gijsen? Arndís Valbergsdóttir? But more to the point - Everyone does not idolize someone. They may admire a person but hopefully they will continue to be their own person instead of cloning themselves to be like someone they idolize. Not thinking for themselves is what gets a lot of people into trouble.I know a few people who are themselves-like and have been all of their lives. That takes more integrity than aping the characteristics of others. No one can aspire to be anything apart from the good, the true, and the beautiful. Who better than JC, who transcends other do-gooders, with a coherent conception and promise of revelation and destiny? "A "promise" ?" Jesus told his disciples that they would see him coming back in their generation & it has been 2000 + years now & he hasn't returned.WHAT JESUS SAID
“For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and will then repay every man according to his deeds. Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.“ (Matthew 16: 27, 28)

Since you seem to enjoy doing such research. Sorry, I really don't take "assignments." Perhaps you can get someone else to do your research for you?
My research involves finding information about things I find interesting. I try to find the most accurate of information known & then use it as correctly as possible.
I would rather doubt that you would find a comprehensive list of all the carpenters or fishermen (or fisher-women) in all of known history.
But who knows though, there might actually be a "Perter" who was a fisherman or fisher-woman!
