Buddhism as one of the major religion in the world, has many followers. as i know.., the teachings are kinda different in several fundamental doctrines if we compare it to other religions, especially the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, Catholicism, Islam) that centered their religious teachings on God.
So, what is the inferior, the flaws, or anything that you think is not true about its teachings. Thank you.

I've found none. I'm still on the way of study.Only people who study and practice through could tell the flaw.But none of them could come back with the flaw.

You really shouldn't say flaws or inferior, it's quite disrespectful.
As for my views, Buddhism is more than just a religion, it is a philosophy. I find the four noble truths and the eight fold path to be a more correct way to live ones life than anything the christians have come up with.

My male best friend is a buddhist and he says that it is not a religion. Buddhism is a way of life and has 3 main principles: to try to be pure, to speak the truth and to love all life.Thus according to him, as a catholic buddhist, he reveres God and tries to adhere to the 3 principles.Those who think of it as a religion are mistaken. Its major flaws lie in the fact that it allows no room for reliance on the Holy Spirit of God. Without the help of the Holy Spirit, it is quite hard to adhere to the principles. Man within himself is always in conflict.

The doctrine of Buddhism goes roughtly like this: all life is suffering, life is suffering because you have expectations or desires, being rid of expectation and desires you achieve nirvana, you can rid yourself of expectation and desire if you follow the eight rules of conduct (right sight, right thought, etc.) So if there is a flaw, it is that what "right sight and right conduct" really are is not too clear. But ultimately, like every religion, everyone sees or understands it differently, and every religion is roughly on the right track.

I BET like Marx said to Engels how he was not a Marxist, BuddhISM is a joke. The whole thing is based on contradiction, metaphor, and trying to break apart the stupid distinctions we put on the world. Any religion is dogmatic; once there are absolute tenets to "what a Buddhist is" that's a Zen game-over.

I hope that I don't step on anyone's toes with this answer, but Buddhism has the same thing wrong with it that most other major religions have: It's hypocritical.
Case in point:
Buddhists supposedly believe that one should neither cling to ritual nor worship idols.

Budhism reads like a version of Hinduism.
