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

[GODZILLA]

I did. I wasn't allowed to watch PG-13 movies or R rated movies. I also wasn't allowed to play T or M rated games. I also wasn't allowed to watch the NFL since they played and Sunday and my parents felt that was in violation of the Sabbath. I was raised in a Mormon family. I really have nothing against the Mormon faith, I just don't really believe in God. And this is not something to bash the religion or my parents. Because I love and respect my parents, they have taught me a lot. 

Of course now that I am 25 and living on my own I play M rated games all the time. GTA, Red Dead, Fallout. I also watch some NFL but I find it kind of boring. I'm more of a baseball fan 

But hey, there is that saying that every parent is just doing their best and parents do often know best.

I didn't but some of my cousins did. They could watch people get killed and transmogrified and whatnot in Star Trek, but because that was SciFi violence, it was allowed. Heaven forbid they watch Monty Python.

Interesting. Ironically I grew up in a Star Trek house. My Mom is a big fan of the series.

Same as Jor. I didn't, my cousins did. (Still do, but now they rebel.)
No non vegetarian food on two certain days of the week. (I forget which, but I think Tuesday was one of them)
No beef whatsoever, any day of the week. (Eventually the government just flat-out banned it, so.  )
No non-vegetarian food during festivals. 
You get the drift...

Haha no, I'm pretty sure there were non food related rules too, but I don't remember. Hinduism in itself doesn't have many rules, but the caste system has made all this happen. We're a family of Brahmins, so we're supposed to not eat non-vegetarian food ever, technically.

My mother, a staunch Catholic, was against sex education of any kind and was always on the watch to make sure my brother and I didn't commit the mortal sin of masturbation.

My father was a Bible-thumping Lutheran who firmly believed in the scriptural message, "Ye shall beat them with a rod and by the blueness of their wounds shall [disobedient children] be cleansed." His favorite tool of "correction," however, was a leather strap which he would wield at the slightest provocation. He died in 2003 and I did not shed even a single tear for him at his funeral.

No trimming hair at all, no makeup, no clear nail polish, no dancing, no movies, no rock music, no Christmas tree, no Halloween, no Santa, no Easter Bunny, no talking at dinner until after parents were done talking.

Pentecostal.  1960's - 1970's.

No makeup, no jewelry (except a watch), no pants for girls, only skirts that had to be at least to the bottom of the kneecap.
Parent-approved TV, only classical and religious music allowed in the house.  No dancing, no games with dice or playing cards.
No shopping on Sunday, no TV on Sunday.  No drinking or smoking, obviously.  
  What else?  Mother was particularly susceptible to "bible health fads".  The few months when she made us drink warm
cider vinegar every morning because "Jesus drank it" was kind of icky.

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.
