How about being like Jesus and calling them

white washed tombs

and a brood of vipers?

[pctech]

You know it, he did call them things like "a brood of vipers," what we would call "a bunch of snakes," or "white washed tombs," what we would call "hypocrites."

Believe me, I understand why you, or anyone else, would want to use today's vernaculur when describing these people, but we have to stray away from terms like "idiot," "moron," or the types of words that have 4 letters or less. Trust me, I haven't done a very good job myself at times and I've had to repent of such loose usage of verbal insults.

But, we have to maintain a higher standard than those around us as much as we would like to do otherwise. Now, to use terms like Jesus did, or to properly describe a group of people like He did, fire away.

Did I muddy up the waters enough?
