Why does god care about our genitals so much?
It's one of the things that really influenced my incredulity and atheism that a god would be so focused on our genitals and what we're doing with them. I know in Mormonism, the focus on sexual purity and repression is part of the BITE model programming for the cult(sex being such a natural part of being human, you can influence and control people by making them feel guilt and shame around this natural instinct they'll never be free from) and a core part of the doctrine(you can't have trans or gay folks because the model for the planetary rewards in the afterlife is Adam and 5+ Eves; The harem god factory doesn't work with Adam and 5+ Steves or if Eve was assigned male at birth, although it'd probably be more fun to run around an empty planet with a bunch of very gay god sex happening). So, I understand for that religious cult why they focus on genitals so much.
But why does god have this focus in other religions?
Because genitals in humans are the engine of life itself.
All of us are products of genital function. Matter in fact, try to look at the process of reproduction from an absolute perspective: it is a miracle, and the sensation we get from it is the natural attraction for us to engage in this act and keep the future of humanity alive.
Yet; just like all other "features" humans have; this comes in with a price:
1-Female humans get pregnant with new souls from this act.
2-Addictive chemicals fill the human brain and in many cases it can lead to violence.
3-Addiction to the act can lead to long-term mutations to the brain -such as the case in homosexuality-.
4-Showing the act to children can also cause them traumas and long-term -if not long lasting- complications.
A God that wouldn't regulate and talk about sex is an obsolete, ignorant God. A false God; in other words.

What's your alternative definition of caring that you think can apply to a deity?
Ten used the word 'care' in the following sense:
Oxford English Dictionary Wrote:2.b. To feel concern (great or little), be concerned, trouble oneself, feel interest. Also in colloquial phrases expressing or implying lack of interest or concern: for all I care, see if I care, who cares?
You replied to him using care in the following sense:
Oxford English Dictionary Wrote:3. to care for: to take thought for, provide for, look after, take care of. Also with indirect passive.
Those are distinctly different meanings. Your objection doesn't apply in the sense that Ten used the word.

According to our old time Methos (methodists) sex is to be avoided if possible as it has been known to lead to dancing
