Yes I studied several christian varieties as well as catholicism, Judaism, Hinduism and some others looking into them fairly thoroughly but I chose to go my own way and much like EriksShadow I don't really consider myself solely Wiccan but a conglomeration of many different philosphies wrapped into one.
Christian and Catholic line of thinking are the furthest from my mind and honestly do not appeal to me in any way although I do have the utmost respect for other peoples religion of choice.
