If someone around here thinks he is good or justified that person has more issues that Me and Alice put together.

Why not give him an "A" for Allah? Allah is, at least in theory, supposed to be the same God as Jehovah.

Also, in Exodus 34:14, he flat-out says his NAME is Jealous.

Why would I be shocked if it were real? I guess you don't get out much.

I guess my analogy can't be too far off since no one has called it out as being bogus. I suppose theists will use the old double standard and say god can do whatever he wants, and that it is good by definition. Just like a dictator.
