it was long after isha's incarceration that nurgle developed his love for her, he 'rescued' her for her lifeforce to test his diseases on.

it's definitely a matter of perspective - "the gods are evil", technically this is simply based on the point of view of those who are enemies of chaos. for all we know the gods may wish for a quiet, peaceful (except khorne) existance but they are constantly waylaid by corporeal life. from their point of view it probably seems that corporeal life is what is responsible for all wars and so the way to get rid of war is to get rid of corporeal creatures.

i'm just playing devils advocate here though (i've been fully indoctrinated by the imperiums propoganda to see the chaos gods as entities of overt hostility and suffering towards life) but maybe, just maybe, the chaos gods are simply trying to return the warp to it's original state, before warp energy coalesced into gods, so that things could go back to being peaceful.

that being said though nurgle is my favourite of the gods, the reasons being what i said earlier, and as such he is the nicest of the bunch.
