So where it says in the 2nd commandment "...I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me..."
what moral is being instructed? To be jealous and vengeful against the children to the third and fourth generation?
Do not hate God.
That's when the jealousy comes in.
God is not mocked, and he punishes those who take other gods before him. What's hard -- even if you reject the premise -- to understand about that?
Gould spent a lifetime mocking God, and making evolution his god. What other questions do you have?
