> I don't think that any acts are inherently chaotic (at the most fundamental level). That is, rape is chaotic because Thed, the Goddess of Rape is chaotic - rather than Thed being chaotic because she is Goddess of Rape. (I don't think that Thed was chaotic "before" the Unholy Trio's ritual).

I don't think that's a meaningful distinction. The act and the god are the same thing and it's essentially meaningless to pick them apart like that. One of the basic things to get your head round with Glorantha is that, unlike in other games or settings, the gods aren't just potent beings that have power over something - they are that thing.
