[A. Weston]

The fallacy in your question is that covetousness is not equal to jealousy. Covetousness is an inordinate desire for that which belongs to another. Jealousy is an intolerance of rivalry or unfaithfullness regarding that which rightfully belongs to oneself. The word jealous, ‘qanna’ in Hebrew, can also be translated as zealous. Because the true and living God is perfect and holy He cannot be tainted with any of the negative connotations of this word. His holiness does not tolerate spurious competitors, pagan or otherwise. Since God created you to glorify Him alone He is zealous for a loving relationship with you. In Matthew 22:37 Jesus repeated the words of Deuteronomy 6:5, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ If you are a true, open minded skeptic I would welcome further dialogue on this matter.
