Mostly Catholic, although a good portion of my maternal grandmother's side was/is Methodist or Nazarene. Because of the closeness we have with that part of the family, we were raised Methodist (and my dad converted to it as well at some point before we were born), although in a lot of ways it was a more superficial attachment - I didn't get a really good, solid picture of Wesleyan theology until after I left High School. Looking back, aside from vaguely acknowledging John Wesley, the only things that were sort of distinctly Methodist that we were true to were being Arminian, and just being rather confused about the whole bubble subculture and averse to legalism. None of that was really evident to me then, though.
A lot of the problem is because of the AM radio preachers and prominent Christian organizations that my dad got literature and all from, which then was repeated back onto us kids. Some of that stuff actually directly runs counter to normative and traditional Methodist beliefs, or it would change with whomever was the popular talking point at the time. You could do hard swings from relatively 'normal' premillennialism or 'Revelation as unknown symbology' argument to the completely whacked-out dispensationalist nonsense about a one world government, the European Union being the Beast (with the Euro as the Mark), and so on. Or on the topic of Origins, being more open to the idea that God could use evolution as a tool (albeit without endorsing the view) to hardcore Young Earth Creationism that makes a point of openly scoffing at references to the Earth being more than a few thousand years old, and doing so as though it's some sort of sacred requirement. It's really no wonder, when coupled with hormones and normal crises of adolescent development, why my spiritual condition in High School was so dark and abysmally bleak. On many topics there wasn't a discernible consistency to what we were being told outside of the nominal Nicene/Apostle's Creeds.
With my own beliefs, my burgeoning post-High School interest in Church history necessarily made me look at Catholic beliefs more critically, and found a very different picture than what we'd been presented with growing up (since some of what we were raised with was the stock anti-Catholic sentiment that comes from the not-quite-fundamentalist crowd...never went so far as to call the Pope the Antichrist, but many of the other misconceptions and distortions Protestants lob at Catholic doctrine or parishioners were there). That influenced me in varying ways, and then when I finally looked in depth at Methodist beliefs, I found that I was pretty much a dead ringer. Since that time, though, I've progressively gotten higher church about things, but still remain strongly Methodist.
