Well, I guess that algorithm copes with this simple situation, but it doesn't scale to the general case because it can deadlock at stage 2 against another process that's been told the opposite by their god. It's also something of a security risk, as it's wide-open to abuse by gods revealing stuff to promote their own agendas.

Worse yet, many of these applications have proprietary extensions to the God superclass which suppsedly derive their behavior and attributes from God. Then, having no direct access to the God superclass, humans interact with these subclasses which sometimes have critical flaws, and give out the wrong advice, or lead them in ways that the original God class didn't intend.

No offense meant to the Reverend who inhabits the BBS, I'm sure his code is bug-free.
