Since you're so into God and whatnot, let's talk. So. Unless God says so, there is no morality? If God said murder was okay, would it really be okay? And is it morally right to sell your children into slavery? (Check Leviticus. It's in your Bible.)
And, by the way, should we kill a man for not cutting his hair? (Again, check Leviticus.)
"Thou shalt have no other Gods before Me, for I am a jealous God..." First of your Ten Commandments. But isn't envy one of the 7 deadly sins? Last I checked, jealousy and envy were the same thing...just like coveting thy neighbor's wife (or anything else as it goes...) so HE can be jealous but not us?
Start thumpin, darlin.

There are also a lot of other nice examples of God being his adorable little self to find in Deuteronomy, for instance, that if a woman is discovered not to be a virgin at her wedding she should get stoned to death.
Envious and jealous are not the same thing here though. In the original Greek version a word is used that is interpreted as "jealous" in most bible translations, but "vengeful" would be a better translation for it.
