Well the warp seems to have the perverse side-effect of corrupting all of those thoughts that which we percieve as good. Be aware though that the sentient beings in the warp do not see themselves as being bad. Take Nurgle for example. He may be percieved as the god of death, decay, & despair, & we certainly think of all the plagues he unleashes as both vile & horrific, but he is also a god of life & vitality, because from the death & suffering of a few, many others will flourish, like the bacteria, the carrion feeders, & all the other beings who live off death. Furthermore, because of the knowledge he gives us of our own mortality, it drives us to succeed, for our hope & joy can be born out of despair, & the greatest achievements we make are often ones born out of the darkest moments we face. Or Tzeentch for instance, as we might think of all the mutations & dark motivations he encourages as evil, not to mention his passion for constantly throwing lives & fates into absolute bedlam. But on the other hand, without change, there would be no learning, no progression, no advancement. Furthermore, men are always desiring for change, change to increase their wellbeing, change to alter their lives, change to discover something new, & Tzeentch makes us do that. Though I will admit there is very little 'goodness' to be fond in Khorne or Slaanesh.
