Theophrastus
I always heard it was a sin for us to be jealous because, unlike God, we aren't perfect and don't have a right to question what he deems fit to give us.
Which means he's a real p***k for making people homeless, and tempting them to commit the sin of jealousy concerning people who have, oh, I don't know, a roof over their head or food in their belly.
How sinful of the homeless to want that. Selfish people.

You wanna know something? It actually says in the Bible that God is jealous and that there are at least 10 passages that say this either directly or indirectly. I'll list a few examples:
Quote:
Exodus 20:5
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for 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;
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for 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;
How about another:
Quote:
Exodus 34:14
For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:
For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:
And one more for the road:
Quote:
Deuteronomy 4:24
For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God
For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God
Yet they call jealousy a sin when their god is a jealous god.
