Where does it originate? Love? Pride?
How useful a tool for change is it? Will it win souls and cover sin?
Does it bring conviction to the hear?
Does sarcasm show love or disdain?
Was Jesus sarcastic?

Sarcasm uses wit and tests intelligence. Who knows what Jesus wrote in the sand to the Pharisees who wanted to stone the woman?

sar·casm [sahr-kaz-uhm]
–noun
1. harsh or bitter derision or irony.
2. a sharply ironical taunt; sneering or cutting remark: a review full of sarcasms.
Elijah was pretty sarcastic when he derided the prophets of Baal as they pleaded for their scrifice to be offered.
Sarcasm can be useful in attempting to prove a point in order to help someone to see the truth of a matter. Can be useful, if used constructively. All to often, though, this isn't the case.

I feel bad for those people who use sarcasm.
