Deep sense, own path.

Attempting to refine this a bit more.

I feel, on a deep level, that Christianity is true

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:

stating your situation more clearly would be a first step

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.)
