Of course, you could also say that the Runescape "Gods" aren't Gods at all, and the closest thing to the monotheistic god of Christianity/Judaism/Islam would be the ELDER GODS. The ones who actually shaped the universe? Those ones.

The "Gods" we have, as Jagex pointed out in the lore campfire, are just very very very powerful mortals. "Idols" to worship rather Gods, according to Christian tradition I believe? In which case, Jagex could be showing a Christian idea too, in the fact you shouldn't worship Idols, for they don't care about the people that follow them.

On a side note, KhaKhan, did you know C.S. Lewis and Tolkein are two of the most devout Christian authors to write fantasy? All throughout their works are references, allegorical or not, to the Bible. Ironically, the two were very close because the wrote fantasy and were fanatical Christians.
