You use those scriptures to justify all sorts of horrific crimes (pogroms, holy war, execution of apostates and infidels, torture of the unclean etc etc).In fact, a LE Inquisitor or fanatic (or indeed an evilly aligned subfaction) of a LG God is so much of a trope it borders on cliche.I see no reason why the same cant happen in reverse in many occasions. I could see a CG Priest of Gruumsh who focuses on a different interpretation of his dogma and will.Objectively, we (the players) know Gruumsh is evil, because the game we play says he is. His dogma focusses on slaughter, conquest, strength over weakness, and taking things by force (all of which are evil). In universe however, to his followers and others, no-one knows what his 'alignment' is, and his priests would be free to interpret his dogma and doctrine however they see fit.</blockquote>
