There are three main ways of looking at the Chaos Gods... The fist is the common belief that is shared by the more educated sections of the Imperium, that Chaos is dark and evil, a blight that needs to be put to the torch and should be shown no mercy. The second is shared by the Heretics (Although most have been manipulated) they believe that the gods are all powerful, all knowing beings that deserve to be revered. Then comes the standard (if a bit depressed) Eldar view, the Chaos Gods are a punishment, a dark torment that will forever punish the universe for the sins it has commited, and the only redemption to be found is in the resisting of these sins, these temptations.

Or at least... this is what I think.
