What does "religion is flawed" mean exactly?

Religions are reflections of human culture, fair enough, and I can see how individual humans are flawed as our collective arrangements.

It'd be interesting to hear what you see as a "flaw" of religion, generally, and even more so if it's not just a doctrinal debate about Christianity, something we already have plenty of here.

Man makes mistakes.

He cannot be trusted to deliver a message from God.

Scripture is Wrong.

Ironically if I was delivering a pure message from God I doubt I would have needed that edit 🤔

God is not separate. It is we who are separate.

The Noumenon is generally considered to be undifferentiated, but that's a feature, not a bug.

I am agnostic, if I had to pick.

Perhaps your agnosticism is “flawed”?

I'm both.

They are the same if you ask me.
An agnostic believes in a God or God's right?
I said religion is flawed.
I never said anything about doubting God's power or existence.

No, an agnostic is someone who believes in the possibility of a god or gods, but that nothing in known about it or them.

A theist believes that there is a god or gods.

They aren’t the same and therefore you cannot be both.

I once met a man who said with enough translations over many years the Bible will tell the story of Adam and Eve the Supreme Super Nazis.

His point was man is flawed and therefore mistakes can happen with the whole delivered messages from God thingy.
