or lack thereof?
Is there anything about your religion that you believe is unlikely? or any errors in you holy book?

What is your faith (especially those who have answered "non")?

Hinduism has plenty of flaws. We admit it. Because it is a collection of thoughts about the universe that wise men have compiled over the centuries. But some of the main tenets are truly just scientific observations. Plus it's a fascinating culture. Don't take it word for word please.

Just one?
You might want to narrow this down a bit. It might be a little hard to summarize 2000 years of paleography, archaeology, theological debates, apologetics, and hermeneutic paradigms. Maybe a better queston would be, "Do you acknowledge any flaws..."
Even then, the answer is complex. Because faith is a personal choice, anyone who recognizes a flaw is likely to rationalize a solution. Very few religious folks adhere to a strict denominational belief. Most people adhere to an abstract skeleton that is provided by their denomination, and then work out the details on a personal level.

I'm a Christian, but there are so many flaws in my faith itself. This is because I am simply too stupid to understand all of the Bible. I feel like it's very sexist and then I think to myself some ignorant men thousands of years ago wrote it to try to control the world on what they thought was " right" or correct. But what I do believe, is that there is a GOD and JESUS was real. I'm just not too sure if Jesus would accept everything that was written in the Bible.I also feel like a sinner for not believing every word in the Bible.I am a very confused kid. What about your faith?

I'm a logical agnostic.
I guess the flaw is: I never really know what I believe. Some days, I pray. Other days, I feel certain that there is no God--at least not a God worth worshipping (not meant to be offensive... I mean in the sense that God is a creator, not humanistic as religion makes him out to be)
The cycle continues..and I cannot prove one or the other..therefore I cannot know one or the other. So, I don't worry about it.

Huh? A flaw? How can God make mistakes? Don't you know that God wrote the Bible perfectly? Or the Koran? Or the Torah? Or any other holy book, for that matter. All the books are 100% truth.

Good question. The one flaw about my faith is that it's too difficult for non-intellectuals to grasp. You have to have an open mind in order to understand that my faith and my reason(science) are one.
As far as any errors in the Grand Recitation? I find none, and trust me, I've researched.

none ... the spirit teaches us and guides us .... there are some errors of interpretation in the written word but a person cant understand it without the Spirit of God anyway ... nothing is lacking there and the bible isnt a book to prove God or His existance either ...

Nope, not a thing otherwise I'd find a different religion or become an Atheist.

Well, some of the people that follow my faith (Christianity) are pretty crazy. Does that count?

-infallability of the bible
-suicide = hell bound.
