Just as in every trade from which people make a living, theologians need tools and ingredients for their trade. As ingredients from which to cook the final product which they sell to the public, philosophers-theologians use concepts in the human language, which they have re-ified, presenting them as entities, existing independantly (which they are NOT). Some of those concepts are: 'nothing', 'unembodied mind', 'belief', 'proposition', 'property', 'possible worlds'... Tell me if you have discovered others.
