The question is, why should we treat their claim differently to yours?
Because this particular christian has a shiny bible verse that absolves him of all annoying speech and even hateful actions. Mark 13:13 is a verse that justifies all manner of stupidity and socially unacceptable behavior. The Westboro Baptist people use it as one of their favorite mantras - which says a lot doesn't it?
Answer: I treat him the exact same as the serial killer who hears voices. Either a fool or a nut case. Either way, he has said nothing I haven't heard a thousand times before.
To answer the question ; you should not treat me differently , you should treat every one the same ( and lets not get into semantic about my wording but get my point) "This is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another." 1 john 3:11
