Actually, NOBODY in their right mind would find jealousy attractive, and nobody likes to put up with judgemental people, at least not on the same level that God's jealousy and judgemental-ism runs at.
Besides, there is no context in which being jealous and judgemental can be considered a good thing, and neither have ever been considered virtues amongst reasonable folk.
Also, I love the was God often scolds people in the bible (especially in the new testament) for being both jealous and judgemental but, you know, being the proud hypocrite that he is, just so happens to be both of those things, and take both the ideas to the extreme. Well done God, you asshole.
