We're good at tauntology too.

I'm currently working on a book entitled "Mock Them Into The Kingdom: The Role of Sarcasm and Insult in the Evangelical Task." I think it's destined for great things.

O.K., I think you have a good start here. But might I suggest you use your title as, instead, the subtitle and use as your main title: "The Purpose-Driven Put-Down."

Cool. Make sure you include a chapter on Elijah and the Prophets of Baal.

27 At noon Elijah began to taunt them. “Shout louder!” he said. “Surely he is a god! Perhaps he is deep in thought, or busy, or traveling. Maybe he is sleeping and must be awakened.” (1 Kings 18)

This one is fun. Jesus speaking ya know...

27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness. Mt. 23:27
