Flawed? Or not perfect? It's no secret that man wasn't created as perfect. So?
Thank God( no pun intended) that we weren't created perfect. We were created to be equal.

Of course we blame man, goes back to my original point i was making about the pureness of man. Or in a lot of cases, the lack of.

Free will...saying choose me or I'll torture you forever. No man would choose hell, someone had to make it and throw us in there.

No, free will to chose between right and wrong, sure, it's not as clear-cut as that, or is it?
No man would chose hell, correct, but, a lot have haven't they? There's plenty of sinning going on in this world. And in relation to God saying indirectly or directly: I will torture you if you don't behave? Far from it, it's once again up to us to decide what we want out of life.

It's not Hell that i fear. Far from it.

With the many religions, 1000's of denominations and even more doctrines how could man know what to believe even if he was sincere in the search.

Easy really, if you are a true believer. The Holy Bible.
Once again, it goes back to my earlier point(s) about Denominations, and why they are wrong.

So he could be sincere, yet still doomed if he wasnt able to wade through all the beliefs that have changed over and over depending on what culture was in power.

Yes, many attempt to be sincere, or have a honest and genuine motif for adopting the Christian faith.
Once again, see my point before about Denominations.
