Which flaws? I've looked at many, and found that they weren't flaws at all. What do you think the flaws in Christianity are?

There are flaws in christianity. They are called people. It doesnt matter where you go people are the same world round. They are always selfish and do things that are against thier own moral codes. It doesnt matter whether they are christian or not. The beauty of Christianity isnt the perfection, it is the opportunity to be fixed by a relationship with Christ.

The Bible says Christians are not perfect. We are ONLY, perfect through Christ. How is this a flaw?
Precious Faith
1 Peter 1:3-7
Our tested faith is more precious than perishable gold. The more coins we spend, the fewer we have, but our assurance in God never runs out as we use it. Men are often impoverished by the quest for gold, but faith can only enrich a person. And while money may temporarily appease one's greed, trust in Jesus forever satisfies the soul.
Gold doesn't begin its life as the pure, shiny material we see in jewelry. Instead, miners drag out hunks of dirty metal with bits of black running throughout. Before a piece of gold can become a beautiful necklace or a perfectly shaped coin, it must be refined by fire and crafted with tools. In the same way, God sends trials into Christians' lives to shape His children. His ultimate goal is to transform each believer into the likeness of Jesus Christ.
God uses many tools in His transforming work - disappointment, broken relationships, illness, and financial problems are a few. He always chooses the device that will build our faith in the area He is focused upon. Unlike inanimate gold, we have a choice to accept or reject His work. We can whine, resist, and give up without making any changes. But let this be fair warning: God will return repeatedly to a faith area that needs His attention until we finally submit. He loves us too much to leave us in our imperfect condition.
Our faith is precious to God. Though His work is sometimes painful, He will never challenge us beyond what we can stand. (1 Corinthians 10:13) And through the refining fire and shaping process, the Master Craftsman holds us closely

there are no flaws in Christianity. there are flaws however in the church. the church has become more politically based that spiritually based. for example the Crusades. also the issue of same-sex marrige in the bible it say a man shall not lay down with a man nor a woman lay down with a woman. this means the bible forbids homosexuality. yet even in my church, before our last pastor left she preformed a blessing on a homosexual union... this is a small examle of how the church is corrupt. NOTE: the CHURCH is corrupt. Christ and the Bible ARE NOT. best thing all u people who are out there thinking christianity is a bunch of $#@% can do is hunt around until you find a church that has the Spirit of God in it.

tis true, nothing is perfect. One will be quite blessed to learn this even whilst looking at doctrine. Nothing is perfect there are flaws. I have a God who is so big, he is bigger then flaws, he is bigger then doctrine, he is bigger then Christians. It's funny God's soverignty seems to escape people when they think about flaws in Christianity.

Nothing on this world is perfect, but God is not of this world. He has no flaws.

There are flaws in Christianity. But there are NO flaws in CHRIST. Christians are not perfect. They are simply forgiven. Two kinds of sinners in the world the saved sinner and the UNsaved sinner. Which are you?

Some religionists can't handle the truth so they just avoid the issue when confronted with logic and reason.
One would think Christianity would be perfect by now, but not even close, it would seem.

It seems to me that a religion which requires one to treat others with love as one would wish to be treated, is as perfect as it gets.
