For chaos to be chaos, it is going to be anti-order. Whether you want to admit it or not is a matter of choice.

If you are doing it to enhance order, it is not chaos.

The chaotic didn't kill the chaotic. All he did was keep helping the orderly. He not once did not agree to help the orderly when asked. He became a tool/slave. If you are a tool or a slave, you will get the smackdown in my religion.

There are different types of chaos, but how chaos relates to my religion, hence the subject, My religion, is exactly as I state it.

You can think of chaos as you wish. In my religion it is tied to wisdom for the express purpose of not being like Entropy. If he was setting up the orderly for a beating, that would have been fine. But there was not a single thing in a role, in his actions or demeanor to suggest he was doing anything of the sort. What he was doing was walking the fence, either he was going to do something special with his actions or crash and burn. That is one of the risks of being part of my religion.
