But what is the nature of their disagreement? Probably about perspective since omniscience would imply all facts would be known (and assumed true?) so the only things left to disagree on is how each person viewed it... Though, is omniscience future proof and stateless? If one (or two) knew everything then theoretically the future is known too... therefore your arguments and the conclusions are known and the only thing left is to sip lemonade together on a porch and watch the sun set.
I find myself to be crankier and less accepting as I get older. (in my mid 30's now) When I was a teenager WOW, I was the paradigm of an Agnostic! Since then though, I have started thinking that although I truly support everyone having their own beliefs, I seem to be the minority in this country - and since I haven't ever gotten atheism shoved down my throat, I am left with a distast for the main organized religions.
I think the only thing stopping me from becoming a buddhist (aside from having to look up the spelling of 'buddhist') is the desire to respond to people on the internets. Obviously I am not yet on the path to inner peace.
