But god as reified Nature makes all the beetles......

But this wonderful connection to the beetles in GR ties in, perhaps, P's lifelong use of the trope....
Mocks "savior" with beetles in GR; mocks Transsubstantiation itself in Against the Day....

At any rate, I prefer Frank's luminescent beetles to the manger variety- less at the mercy of a collicky god.
