Zil pretty much said it all.

About the "views" on God: it doesn't matter what we believe in. What Tolkien believed in is what you're really looking at, and we don't know for sure (although we can guess).

Also, you might see flaws in the "christian God", but other people might not. Tolkien may be one of the latter. Personally, I don't see how letting people make their own choices is a flaw. You learn from mistakes. God 'wants' us to learn.
