Since god can't paint (if you disbelieve this it is
your job to show me at least one painting done by
god, signed by god with the signature authenticated by
a reputable art dealer), god-as a conscious entity of
a specific kind-can't use painting to meet one of
consciousness's needs-namely, the need to
concretize abstractions
Further, since god only deals with really really high
high abstractions he (or she) doesn't care about
concretizing the (relatively speaking) low abstractions
of people living and/or existing at the bottom (or
relatively speaking, near the bottom) of the food
chain,
ie, me qua non-owner, non-management, non-
shareholder employee of a rather large, big box
company.
However, as far as god is concerned, the same
does not apply to what he (or she) might call
the Ayn
Rand Metaphorics.
Here, god too has a need to translate the
metaphorical descriptions of genius
observations into
concrete forms.
Men do this translating by painting. For examples
see the works of Michelangelo, Rubens, Dali and so
on.
But since god can't paint ... or rather we really
should say: Painting is not god's medium.
His medium is real people ... or rather we should
say, god is the transformer of clay into real people.
So when god discovered this Ayn Rand
metaphor: " ... evil is a weed that grows in the
vacant lot of an abandoned mind ..."
God concretized it, translated it into reality for us by
giving us her (or his) not-aborted neonate, Seung-Hui
Cho
who ended up--through his own cho ices--
nurturing weeds

PS
In a thousand years - when mankind has finally
managed to get over the self-made massacre of the
VA Tech Killer,
Cho Seung-Hui - we can give the Ayn Rand
metaphors their proper name-that is, The Ayn Rand
Po... no, wait, halt, stop. It's still too early for this
naming, we'll return to this some time, some where in
the
future.
