I'm just going to hijack this thread a little bit and ask my own question,

though it's related.

In my current game, I'm a champion of Balance, so technically, I can
convert 
elemental altars if I choose to.
Now, I'm already past the Fire and Water temple, and I'm just spoiling 
myself a little for the next ones, and I'd like to know whether it's 
actually practical to convert the other elemental temples.

That is,

1. Is there any danger that the sacrifice will be directed to the chaos
god 
who owns the altar, instead of my god, and that I will lose alignment?

2. Is it possible to sacrifice the keepers of the Orbs, while they're 
chilling placidly atop their altar?

3. Are most minions sacrificable?

4. When sacrificing minions, am I also forgoing any chance of loot?

... and if there are other potential pitfalls that a savvy character
should 
avoid, please let me know :)

For me, this is the first character that reached has the Casino, and I
would 
rather be safe than sorry -- I started her back in December, and I have 
already been burned many times by various forms of divine contempt and 
wrath, and so your help on this matter is greatly appreciated!
