When and where did you first learn about Christianity, and when and why did you decide to become Christian?

I didn't actually start learning about religion seriously until in high school when one of my relatives told me he was a Catholic. As a Muslim, I had no clue about Christian theology at all. So I watched YouTube videos, read "The Case for Jesus" by Brant Pitre (which is a 5/5 book), and the Bible. However, once I started going to Mass with him and being near the presence I think that was the final nail in the coffin and eventually led me to believe. For me, the strongest argument is the fact that there's strong historical evidence for Christ's ministry and the crucifixion -it's difficult to deny it happened. It also doesn't make sense to me that a prophet would come 600 years later if Jesus made it clear he was completing the Messianic prophecy to the Jews - which has a lot of basis in the Jewish books. I could go on with a lot more arguments.

But in conclusion, the historical arguments are the strongest reasons for pushing me towards becoming a Catholic. I was baptized and received all of my sacraments this year. Thank you for asking!
