I think this reply is over the top. There are also nouns that denote more abstract "objects". For instance, "freedom" is a noun, but you will have a hard time locating that in time and space. You seem to be throwing away quite a lot of nouns this way. I think attempting to arrive at a consistent metaphysics by restricting sentences that are deemed meaningful is a dead end. It has been tried before.

By the way, as a theist myself, I think that labelling God as an "enigma" is missing the point that the existence of God may very well be seen as clear an unpuzzling. It is humans that are the enigma...
