This is pretty straighforward, although I'm issuing a challenge with this. Whoever is the first to get all of these correct will receive best answer. Christians, if there are any I've forgotten, please let me know, and I will post them either on this question, or another.
Everyone else, I encourage you to do this for your religion (or lack thereof, if you're an atheist.), that's my challenge.
This is on Christians. The next part will be on Christianity.
SO, true or false?
1. Christians hate science.
2. Christians love homosexuals, but disagree with the lifestyle.
3. Christians are not allowed to question their beliefs.
4. All Christians attend church.
5. All Christians are uneducated.
6. Many scientists have been theists, or Christians.
7. All Christians are hypocrites.
8. Some Christians believe in evolution.
9. Christians are racist.
10. All Christians only listen to Christian music.

These are NOT a representation of how I feel about Christians. That's why some of them are true, and some are false.
And it IS true that some of them are a generalization. That's my point, actually.
I'm only trying to debunk some common misconceptions.
I AM a Christian, thank you! That's WHY I'm doing this!

How clever:
1. False- many Christians work in a Sience oriented profession.
2. True-you can disagree with a person's choices and still love the person.
3. False-If you don't question things then you can't continue to grow.
4. False-not all Christians feel the need for organized worship.
5. False-there are as many educated, well informed Christians as their are
non Christians.
6. True-the list is surprising.
7. False-not all PEOPLE are hypocrites.
8. True-but it is unclear how they reconcile their beliefs.
9. False-no group is ever all anything. Racisim is a very real part of this
society, it is unfortunate, but there are racists in every walk of life, religious
as well as non-religious.
10. False-we love all sorts of music. I personally am a Stones fan from way
back.
Thanks for the fun time and making me think about things.

Well done. It deals with a lot of the stereotypes of Christianity.
However, there are a lot of members here who don't care about the truth of Christianity. They like these stereotypes, and will fight to 'believe' them because they need to bash God and Christians and religion to feel better about themselves.
Christians are a varied bunch. I could only answer for my own beliefs.
1. I love science.
2. Love everyone, live and let live on lifestyle.
3. Allowed? Don't know about that, but I do.
4. No.
5. Myself, very educated.
6. Many scientists are theists.
7. Everyone's a hypocrite, at one time or another.
8. Believe it.
9. Not racist.
10. Not true.

Christian answering:
1. false
2. true-ish, I'm not sure "disagree" is the correct word, but it's not too strong or too weak of an indication.
3. false - lots of questioning in the Bible
4. false - Jesus never said we had to go to church
5. false (you should meet all the people at my church, not only are they educated, they're educaters.)
6. true - A Case for Christ - great book
7. All? false
8. true
9. false
10. false (heavy metal fan here)
Hope this is helpful. Of course you can't say that my answers are true of all Christians. I just perceive them to be my feelings and experiences with my fellow Christians, and based on certain things stated in the Bible.

I doubt there can be a correct answer to this in your eyes being that you most likely are going into some agenda with this....would you like a explanation for each t/f answer
_______________________________________
Edit:
1. Science is agift from god...how than can you hate it. all the scientific advances in medicine ect are blessings from god.
2.Hate the sin not the sinner
3. tough one ut i say no. because by beliefs i am assuming that you are reffering to core beliefs in christianity such as the death and ressurection and the virgin birth if you question those than you might as well denounce your faith.
4.All christians attend what the bible defines as church unless oppositon prevents it. Example: in parts of the world where christianity is persecuted they may have small worship services or family paryer meetings for there own safety. I think people automatically jump up and see church as building or cathedral. christ said that when two or more people gather in his name there he is in the midst of them.
5.this obviously false. Many great scholars have been believers. I think this stereotype comes from the atheists that believe that if they cannot see what they knowas "reason" than they must be "uneducated" . its funny that many atheist have a problem saying that christinity is close minded and bigoted yet they continue to breed stereotypical thought like this.
6.Again obviusly true.such as louis pasteure
7. all that is a generalization...so obviously false. nobody can say all of anyone with a certainty
8.no that is parallel with number 3 the creation is a core belief you cannot compromise and stilk keep your faith
9. see answer to number 7
10. again with the all.....
