Growing up, did your parents have weird rules because of religion

RE: Growing up, did your parents have weird rules because of religion
No outside play on Sundays (board games were allowed), fish on Fridays (even after the Pope ok’d meat), no God-related swearing at any time, including ‘God cursed’, ‘God forsaken’ and ‘bloody’.  Not terribly bad, considering.

I was once asked to give the blessing at Sunday supper. I said, ‘Rub-a-dub-dub, ta for the grub, yay God!’ and my gran threw a teacup at me.
