It's okay as long as you're mocking unbelievers. Here's a passage where Elijah makes sarcastic comments about Baal and his worshipers.
"And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked."

Well my Bible says thou shalt be sarcastic to the feeble minded. Of course I wrote it in with a sharpie, but it does say that.

It doesn't really say anything.
However, "treat others as you want to be treated."
Do you like it when someone is sarcastic to you?

You're not a real christian (tm) if you're sarcastic. Also parody is right out. Certain forms of puns are allowed. Remember: real christians (tm) killed their sense of humor during the "born again" process.

Sarcasm is based on ridicule and mockery. Sanballat did this with the children of Israel regarding the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem. But also note that Elijah used it in regard to the priests of Baal on Mt. Carmel.
I think it really all depends. Most times sarcasm is rude behavior designed to bring artificial validity to a week point or agenda. Other times it is hyperbole used in humor to bring home a point.
