I cannot imagine an infinitely powerful and wise being would be affected, let alone upset, about something so trivial.

Trivial? You think the creation of the universe and the creation of life is trivial? Let's see you do it.

God stated flatly that he is a jealous God and that you are to have no other gods beside him. You trivilize his creation as if it is something that could occur in the absence of any creator. You have made "mother nature" your God. You have made chance your God. You have made everything other than God your god. IOW you have placed the creation above the creator. You think He's ok with that?

It isn't just a matter of trivializing. It is the equivalent of shamelessly spitting in the face of someone who not only gave you life in the first place, but also saved your life.

No other gods before Him. Apparently He didn't mind sharing, He just didn't like being upstaged.

This of course brings up the fact that the Bible specifically states that there are other Gods...

"Trivial? You think the creation of the universe and the creation of life is trivial? Let's see you do it."

What should be trivial for such a powerful being is whether we fully understand that creation. To be so offended that he sentences us to eternal torment because we get it wrong is not the sign of a wise, understanding God but of a whiny adolescent.

"God stated flatly that he is a jealous God and that you are to have no other gods beside him."

See above about whiny adolescents...

Obviously, a jealous God is a flawed God.

...Perhaps it can occur in the absence of any creator. Kind of like...the weather. Do you believe Gods create hurricanes, tornados and lightning? Or are you willing to believe in "mother nature" when it comes to meteorology? You think Thor would be okay with that?
