You want to kill everything in sight and you think thats Graham Entropy characters have a goal dependant on their alignment and how they achieve these goals (or what these goals are) is affected by the fact that they are chaotic and not lawful.

The gods give the powers of the shaman to the shaman to exact their truths upon the world. Should the empowering god be a god of Murder,Death,Kill then yes you could be angry and kill everything in the way. If he's not then you bloody well aren't carrying out your gods mission and could very well be dusting his beloved followers.

Good chaotic characters must -certainly- be able to explain what they do. Chaotic characters do things by disordered means but still achieve the general goal of their alignment. Good characters help the world in different ways, be it the hard ass shokai shaman or the thief that steal the bad things from bad people or whatever else.
