Can you be specific, what aspect of Christianity are you drawn to?
Some possibilities that I've heard from other people. The sense of belonging, family or love. Security from knowing you are doing the right thing. A deep down sense of the spiritual. The music. The people.
Related, are you drawn to church going Christianity or perhaps "I've got my own path in God" Christianity?
Deep sense, own path.
Attempting to refine this a bit more.
Is it Christianity specifically that you feel is true, (original sin, virgin birth, son of God, walking on water miracle, Holy Spirit, baptism, sad ending involving a cross ...) or is it that you have a sense of the spiritual nature of the universe that you can't shake.
As Vladimir_Nesov says above:
As this sounds a bit like me, reading the Bible might lead you towards atheism.
I'd also consider asking why (Christians you disagree with) followed such a different path, if you feel inclined to believe any form of 2 Corinthians 5:17 and you can find anyone whose views you definitively consider wrong.
(I was going to say, 'LaHaye and Jenkins to the rescue!' But perhaps you'd better start with Fred Phelps.)
