Eheheh. They ain't so bad compared to the ones we have in real life.

The God in Christianity is known to have killed millions upon millions throughout the Bible (Let's face it, he flushed the human race like a dump he wasn't satisfied with apart from Noa and a few others).

Then there's Sodom and Gomorrah, and if we really stretch things to the belief that God created everything, he probably created the plague and cancer too, didn't he? Sadistic bastard if you ask me.

So yeah. Saradomin probably got a little upset those Naragi didn't like him or whatever and went to step on them every now and then, but it appears to me he's power hungry, as opposed to our gods, who are simply put genocidal.

On top of that, they're man-made, fictional characters. Not actually gods, and do not think as gods would (provided gods exist). They act like humans would, as their actions are written down by humans (like the Bible, Qur'an, Torah, Hebrew Bible, New Testament, Old Testemant, and yadda yadda the way I see it).

Gods don't make mistakes, humans do. That's why the gods can't figure out convincing races to follow them, why the gods on Earth struggle with the same problem, and why things are lacking.

I doubt they really do it to prove a point in real life, rather they do it to spice things up a bit for the game. If they were all sitting on their flat, doing jackshit (apologies for the language) there would be no excitement or fun for the kids. And kids want those things. Action and gods and being almighty and cool and neat and stuff sells.

What I want to conclude is: Man made God. As in real life, as in Runescape.
