Why would you care? To you, it only matters that God says it is a sin. "Do this because I said so" is the first resort of a lazy and stupid parent.
If sin makes God angry, he has only himself to blame. Sin, and the sinning sinners who sin, are his inventions and he made things this way on purpose.
Activities such as murder, or rape, or torture, or slavery, are almost universally criminalized these days, and the reason why is because it is very easy to demonstrate that these activities are harmful to people. There is a clear and obvious reason not to allow people to do these things. We all know that God is on record encouraging his followers to do all these things and more, and we all know that Christian mythology celebrates these horrors. What makes that all the more obscene is that Christian mythology tells us that it is wrong to work on Sabbath but 'righteous' to slaughter women and children. It is wrong to have sex with someone of your own gender but 'righteous' to own people as property. Sassing your mom is worth a death sentence, but raping a virgin is God's good work.
To put it bluntly, 'sin' is an outmoded and illogical concept, a tarnished relic of an ignorant past and with no place in a civilized world.
