"Fluffy" theology.

Modern Christianity has no idea what the historic Christian faith is all about, and focuses instead on feelings and emotional experiences, rather than the Word of God.

Presently, I think the biggest problem with Christianity is that things have been added to it and taken away from it. I currently know of 7 deviations from it. Part of the allowance of those things is the fact that mankind is as a false god (Gen. 3:5). (That is also one of the 7 deviations).

I think folks are not sticking to the Word of God. It is so easy to get off the mark. Someone on this site said, "I bet most Christians haven't even read the Bible, at least all of it." I think that is right, because I know myself, I have not read it all. How can we have true faith in what we do not take the time to study and understand. My goal is to study the Bible and I thank the atheists for that desire.God works in mysterious ways.

I think the biggest problem is that they've honed in on a few particularly controversial topics--homosexuality, abortion--to the point that many Christians spend a great deal more time fighting those battles than fighting the less controversial but equally important battles like, oh, poverty. Because of this, the many great Christians are perceived in the fundamentalist light of the louder, more battle-hungry Christians.

A lack of balance between Scripture, Tradition and Reason. One of those seems to be over-emphasized by denominations in one way or another (Sola Scriptura on one hand - Not enough Scripture on the other, to the detriment of Reason)

The problem is not in Christianity, the problem is in people's materialistic tendencies walking away from reality. There is no loss for Christianity itself, the loss is for those who reject it.

Obsession with the What instead of the Why. Not asking enough questions. Believing church attendance is more important than helping your fellow man. Thinking that God just wants us to sit here and do what we're told, rather than try and be the best people we can.

The 501(c)(3)

In short, a 501(c)(3) “church” cannot freely preach Christ, His Kingdom or His Truth. They must honor first and foremost the prince of this world, his kingdom and his lie. They have turned their swords into plowshares before the vicory is won, and being unarmed, are a liability to Christ’s purpose to assault the gates of hell (to which they have pledged allegiance!) I’ve heard it said that “healthy sheep reproduce”, but these have made themselves eunichs in Christ’s flock. Matt 22:14 says many are called, but few are chosen, but of these it can truly be said that many are cold, and a few are frozen.

I don't think Christianity in itself is the problem. It's more the many Christians who seem to feel that the entire world should live by their book. (Even though they don't manage to do that themselves)

Much of it is an anachronism with limited relevance to life in the modern world. Doctrines like original sin and vicarious atonement don't mean as much to people nowadays as they did in the past.
