Desire implies need/want for something and therefore - missing something. A perfect being can not be missing anything, therefore does not desire anything.
Creativity is a human trait, necessary for fulfilling our needs. We create tools in order to circumvent the shortcomings of our bodies and minds. We create art in order to communicate complex emotions, between our solipsistic, yet socially interdependent brains.
Again - what shortcomings does a perfect being have and who does the only such being have to communicate with?
It always amazes me how theists see god as basically themselves only A LOT taller - like at least 50 feet. That betrays your primitive imagination, as well as your arrogant narcissism, clumsily masked with disingenuous humility. "There is a perfect being out there and of course it has to be just like me."
