Yet Lanbril is essentially selfish but his worshippers are not chaotic. I think that some acts are chaotic because they were made so in the Great Darkness (ie Ragnaglar and Rape). Many evil acts are also chaotic but an evil act is not intrinsically chaotic.

Uz and Morokanth also eat humans yet aren't chaotic. Ogres are because they sold out to the Devil during the Darkness.
