Sole Deity

G*nk can transcend space and time and has been directly responsible for countless turning points in intergalactic history.

The Name of G*nk

G*nk may not be referred to as "Gonk," for to speak the holy name is blasphemy, unless you are doing so in the context of warning others not to blaspheme, as is done here.

However, the primary utterance of G*nk is "Gonk," (gɔnk) and when used to refer to the word "Gonk" instead of the deity G*nk, the full spelling is acceptable.

Holy Words

The holy words all G*nkists use, when situationally appropriate, are:

"Gonk. Gonk. Gonk ko kyenga see."

The holy words of G*nk are not permitted to be translated as per Baobab Security Directive 51-C.

The Tenet of Energy-Generation

G*nk is a power droid and generates His own energy; thus are His followers to derive no sustenance from external sources, such as food or water, which are not considered kosher.
