If someone comes to you and *asks* for a lifeline, and you have it, you can't not offer it. That's cruel. You can't stand there and say "God could help you, IF YOU WERE SANE."

The thing is not to bind them to it. Not to try to take ownership of their experience, i guess. It's their business and God's. But you can't *refuse* to talk to them about faith just because they're broken.
