Why do my parents keep taking my ps3 away?

I bought if after 3 years of saving up and now i hardly get to play it. When i first got it my parents said that how ever long i played id have to have 1/4 of that time spent reading the bible, having silent time, playing the guitar, or praying. If i play for an hour i have to spend 15 minutes doing the above. I did this truthfully, totally, and honestly. but still they take it randomly, ive asked them and they just say they have it 4 “safe keeping”! Which is totally ridiculous. I got to the point where i bought another controller (55 bucks) i dont have an allowance or anything so it was a big decision but i did it. So i can occasionally get away with 10 mins of playing if they’re gone or something but im sick and tired of having to hide and play. i want to play with my friends with my headset but its too loud and ive decided i want my property back. Im only 14 and this isnt the only thing im restricted on. no dating, church every sun. community center gathering every sun. etc.etc.etc. Any advice is greatly appreciated:)
