Zaros may not be able to feel or have emotions but he respects Armadyl for how he handles himself, he shows no hatred towards Zamorak for how he betrayed him during the God Wars. He may not like how Saradomin Acts but he believes that Saradomin's beliefs and actions have merit.
Y'know, it's pretty much this reason alone that, despite believing that the end goal is to remove all gods, I chose to bring Zaros back to full power. I have a deep respect for his ideology and his character. He, unlike most other gods, has demonstrated that he is capable of reason and humility.
What concerns me about him is his plan to rouse the Elder Gods.
I am concerned that he will bring unnecessary destruction to Gielinor in an attempt to ascend beyond his transcendent nature, and I can tell already that this will not end well for him. Not only that, but if the universe is cyclical as lots of lore evidence would have us believe, then the Great Revision is inevitable. Nothing he does will prevent it, only delay it.

I am sure that Zaros, as reasonable and logical as he is, has anticipated this.
Even if he has not, is it not the duty of the World Guardian to prevent such senseless destruction of Gielinor?

We must believe in him, we shouldn't doubt, because doubting wont help. Zaros is intelligent enough to know if something isn't a good idea then he wouldn't do it.

No, that's the definition of a strawman. To argue against a different point than is being defended to give yourself the illusion of the upper hand in the argument.
Eh... fair enough, you're right. Usually the strawman in question is a little more adversarial. Patrolling Lore FC almost makes you wish for a Great Revision.

Even the transcendent are imperfect; perhaps, in his enthusiasm to do what he believes will solve the problem, he has failed to consider the consequences.
I can only hope that he will realize what he is going to be required to do, and if he does not turn back then it is the duty of the World Guardian to stop him. If that means destroying him, then so be it. Azzanadra is logical as well, perhaps he can be made to see the necessity in this if it should come to that. Balance in all things.

I think Zaros realizes the audacity of his plan, but I have faith that he will do everything in his power to cover all of his bases and make sure that even in the worst case scenario, all will not be lost.

After being somewhat undecided for a long time (because I actually agree with all the gods at least a little), I think I've settled on Zamorak. I was previously a Saradominist and then a Zarosian, but Saradomin turned out to be kind of a hypocrite with his "one true god" thing, and he's just kind of a jerk (but he still has a lot of good, please don't hurt me Saradominists). Zaros is one of my favorite gods, and I like the fact that he's mostly logical and sees merit in the other gods' philosophies, but the more I think about it, the more his becoming fate and secretly controlling everyone from the shadows thing freaks me out.

I like Zamorak because he's less of a "leader" than the other gods, for example Saradomin and Armadyl want to protect their followers and watch over them, but Zamorak says you can become strong and protect yourself. I like the freedom and growing from adversity in his philosophy.

Not trying to offend anyone else here by the way. All the gods are flawed and have made mistakes, and Zamorak certainly isn't an exception - he kind of started a 4000-year-long war and destroyed a pretty huge chunk of land. :P
