treat something as

Do these mean the same thing? If so,
which would you use?
1. Everyone treated my words as a joke.
2. Everyone regarded my words as a joke.
3. Everyone considered my words as a joke.
Thank you.

they mean about the same--I'd use #1, but if you use #3 it should be "considered my words a joke."
