christian ideas

Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place; I wouldn't mind if anyone with a decent understanding of christianity asked.

I'm an agnostic who have been through christian education at school, debates, websites and have read some of the bible. I've given christianity several tries but it seems kind of... shallow. Some of the texts seem to target people who act before they think with simple messages that I already understand through philosphical works.

Are there any texts that you would like suggest that would benefit a somewhat intelligent person?

I've read articles on christianity, pro-actively talked about christianity with christians and I have accompanied some people to church when my cousin was being baptised.

I know logic, rationality or wisdom has nothing to do with religion, but the lack of it in my rather limited experiences have deterred me from it.

There is a vast difference between your exposure to Christianity and becoming a Christian. Christianity is a FAITH not merely a system of beliefs, it is a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. It is passing from spiritual death to life.
