I will tell you this once because I feel like I am going to waste my time, but maybe it will stick. Christianity has a bunch of rules, and it has nothing to do with controlling people, it has to do with the best functioning society and what is actually good for people. It is the reason why western civilization has done so well for so many centuries. Things like cheating on your wife is bad for society and for the individuals, that is why it is prohibited. My comment is an outside observation of what the religion of christianity does, other religions have different features.
There are some non-christian made up rules, paticularly with the catholics, but many of the things you are referring to are differences in interpretation.
No, the rules are in the bible but people can interpret them differently. I think the issue you are probably referring to are probably the cult types that twist and turn things to not mean what they mean.
Sure thing bro, commands like “love thy neighbor” just throw people into a murderous craze!
What about two commandments for cheating on your wife? A greater sin than murder lol
It only exists to control people

The rules of Christianity aren’t written in the Bible.
That is exactly where the are written.
Yeah, that was bait that you shouldn’t have taken.
Now I can point to the peculiar rules of every Christian sect and ask whether those rules are Christian commandments, or Clergy controls.
There are some non-christian made up rules, paticularly with the catholics, but many of the things you are referring to are differences in interpretation.
So, the rules of Christianity aren’t written in the Bible. They are written wherever the clergy wrote down their interpretations.
