Heck no, I wouldn’t expect it to change your views on your Savior, but am gratified that a Christian would even give it a look. Would it deepen your faith even further would be cause for great celebration to my thinking.

‘Sorta like me with Christian radio. There are enough appeals to The Father and solid ethical foundation to keep me listening about 85% of the time. I may be agnostic with respect to Jesus and nitpick occasionally about his various approaches to The Law, but basically, I like him. To paraphrase Eric Blore in ‘The Road To Zanzibar’: “I bet he’d be fun to know.”

Reading articles like the one you recommended would do NOTHING to deepen my faith. What it would accomplish, however, is in giving me insight into the kinds of deception that are out there leading people away from Christ and not into a deeper faith. I can understand why some would feel comfortable remaining in agnosticism by reading things like this - but it is far from the truth. Agnostic means "without knowledge", I would hope honest skeptics would respond to the truth when they hear it - if they are actually seeking knowledge.

You say you like Jesus, basically, and would enjoy getting to know him, but I wonder of you consider that Jesus is either who he claims to be or he is the worst kind of con man, thief, liar, false prophet and lunatic. There really isn't a middle ground here - if we are being honest. There is no "fence riding" where your eternity is concerned - it may come in a blink of an eye. Please think about that.
