The Relationship Between God's Thoughts and Properties
Conceptualists have suggested that God's thoughts can play the role of properties.

As mental states, thoughts are characterized by intentionality being about things, not by things falling under them. If this is right, then the conceptualist who wants God's thoughts to play the roles of properties still has plenty of work cut out for him if his view is to commend itself as an attractive option for theists.
