I'm a Christian myself, and as far as understanding it goes, it satisfies all of my questions (I'm very inquisitive, and couldn't just believe something without being convinced it were true). To me the concept of all of our problems stemming from selfish pride makes a lot of sense, and that's the cornerstone of Christianity (rebelling against God and wanting to be our own gods in the garden of Eden).
In practice, of course, it's a lot harder to live up to, because becoming a Christian didn't just make me no longer selfish or prideful. But whenever I do lower my pride, good things happen, and I improve as a person.
