That's my point. Saradomin will never come out and say "I only told you want you wanted to hear." NONE of the other gods would.
Maybe it's because they aren't pathological liars?
Seriously, though, Zaros would have never said it either if he didn't think he had Zamorak trapped alone in a dark alley and was about to kill him.
Zaros isn't the only God to lie...I'd say Saradomin and Armadyl are in the top 3 liars with him, but unlike Zaros, I don't think they lie maliciously. Saradomin says things that are untrue, like "I had to take the centaurs to Gielinor or the war would leak into the Enchanted Valley!" and neglects to mention that the Naragi wanted to sic Tuska on him in the first place because he was the greatest threat they wanted to remove (and I'm sure he discovered this). But unlike Zaros, I don't think he's trying to deceive the player and convince them he's a good person...I think he's trying to convince himself that he's a good person. He lies to himself or tries to justify his actions by saying "It's the thought that counts!" and once he's convinced himself that this is really what happened, he passes on his own justifications to you. Runescape doesn't need a hero...it needs a villain. An all encompassing force of evil that will remain ever-threatening and use chaos to make the peoples of Gielinor tolerate each other, grow strong together, and fight side by side against this evil. I am that villain.

Yeah he basically only said it to rub it in how little the Mahjarrat actually meant to him. Or maybe to just twist the knife a little before killing Zamorak.

We sleep soundly in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm.

Zamorak, on the other hand, is a brutally honest god. NO
I do not ship ZamorakxZaros.
I follow them. And Marimbo, the best t5 god.

Zaros has always been described by the J-Mods as "Machiavellian" before we even got to meet him in-game.
So no, COM did not change my perception of him or my support. Which is primarily based on the rule of cool and the air of mystery that has surrounded Zarosian lore ever since the days when I was only the "Servant of the Unkown Power".
