Not all Christians stereotype and prejudge. In fact, I'd venture that NO Christians do that. You see, a Christian is someone who follows Christ. In doing so, they learn to accept others (Jesus hung with thieves and prostitutes), they learn to love others (Jesus died so we could live forever), they learn to serve others (Jesus healed people and even washed people's feet) and they learn to forgive others (Jesus forgave those who hung Him on the cross).
If someone stereotypes and prejudges, they're not being a very good representation of Christ, thus, the term Christian doesn't really apply to them. I'm not saying Christians are supposed to be perfect because everyone makes mistakes, has emotions, etc. However, a Christian should be rooted in love and should demonstrate certain characteristics most of the time - they're traits known as fruits of the spirit like patience, love, etc. All this springs from a personal relationship with Christ.
A lot of our political leaders and people who claim to be Christian are either kidding themselves or lying to you. They may know the RULES but they don't have the relationship with Jesus, which makes them hypocrites (actors) playing religion (a man made construct that is very deadly). God calls us to a loving relationship with Him and others, not a cold adherance to rules and condemnation of others.
Bottom line. You'll know a tree by it's fruit.

do you see the irony in your question? Maybe you meant it to be that way. Funny either way. I'm a Christian, I am more open than your average bear, so I guess the answer to your question is that ALL Christians don't stereotype and prejudge, only some of them.

I'm a Christian, and I do my best no to stereotype and prejudge people and if I find my self doing it, I try to resolve the situation, even if an apology is needed on my end.

Haha. You are stereotyping all Christians. I don't stereotype. Everyone is different. Besides, who am I to judge? Only God in Heaven can judge.

Not all do. Your running into the wrong ones. But, I will say that all Christians are not perfect, just forgiven.
God does not promise us a great life. Just a soft landing.

Because they are frightened to death of anything or anyone that is not exactly like them! I would make the argument though that not all christians act this way. I have met a few that don't.

...Your first question indicates that you must know all Christians, right?
...Everybody has biases and prejudices - hopefully, as I grow in grace, Jesus will make them fade away, more than they have.
...BTW, in John's gospel Jesus said, "Do not judge according to appearances, but judge with righteous judgment." Therefore, to judge is not always a sin.

Because they can't seem to mind their own business and haven't gotten their own lives together. They have no right to judge anyway--no one does. Stereotyping is not right--they are also not above you and I.
