Too many Christians are afraid to defend their beliefs, and foolish ideas are not challenged. Sarcasm can be an effective tool to illustrate foolishness. Chapter and verse?
1Pe 3:8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:
1Pe 3:9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.

The verses you are quoting, mainly speak of how Christians should treat each other.
And while I agree that Christians should treat everyone with a certain amount of kindness and compassion; unsound ideas should be thrashed.
You do know that Paul used sarcasm at times.
If you insist, I will find the verses...

Ummmmm Douglas, Peter was talking to other Christians in these verses. He’s telling them to have one mind.
He doesn’t tell you to have one mind with every cult that claims truth.
Sheesh!
