I thought it would be fun to answer the last two.
1. What is your opinion of Christians in general?
I think this question is far too broad. My parents and family are catholic or episcopal. They are moderates, and well educated people. They don't ostracize people who don't share their beliefs and are rather open and accepting people. Meanwhile there is a nutjob preacher who comes to campus, shouts misogynistic and racist slurs, all while quoting bible verses to justify his bigotry. He thinks the earth is flat, and literally put his fingers in his ears and shook his head when presented with evidence that contradicted his views.
Both of these are Christians, and I have very different views of them. I have no problem with the first, while the second I view with a mix of disgust and amusement. Really it's a call I make on an individual basis.
2. If a Christian were to sit down and talk with you about their faith, what would it take to convince you that it was worth looking into or accepting?
Some reason to think their view had some validity. Some reason that their beliefs were justified, more so than other religions.
