Your reasoning leaves me speechless. Would a loving father threaten death to a child for disowning him or going his own way? I think not. I don't think jealousy is virtuous in any way. It's immature, petty and contolling. There are far more appealing god myths to worship if that's your need.
If a visitor to your house were threatened by your neighbour you would offer the sexual services of your virgin daughter or slave to resolve the problem? Does a quick peek at a monumentous and extraordinary event deserve your summary execution? Nice morals from a loving god!

Just taking the scriptures at face value.
