By all means, you should follow that.\" - Ellen DeGeneres, Tulane Commencement Speech, 2009\n\n==Welcome to the Wiki==\n\nWelcome to the wiki of The Flying Spaghetti Mother's(The wife of the Flying Spaghetti Monster) Noodly Appendage, The Wholly Marine Corps. [[Special:AllPages|Have a look around.]] Don't forget to like our [https://www.facebook.com/HerNoodly/ FaceBook page] and follow us on [https://twitter.com/HAltaica Twitter].Support us on [https://www.patreon.com/TOoHNA Patreon]\n\n==The Order of Her Noodly Appendage==\n\nThe purpose of the Wholly Marines as defined by the tenth Pastafarian Admiral of the Fleet, Captain Granth who established the order of Her Noodly Appendage(The Wholly Marine Corps) was to act as \"the army of the FSM\" to guard and protect everyone (not just Pastafarians) and who always act according to their FSM's teachings, rules and ethics were at act with charity, love and service to all human beings. The commandments of the Wholly Marines being enshrined in the [[Wholly Marine Officer's Manual]].\n\nThis brings unprecedented responsibilities and duties that need to be fulfilled by the Wholly Marines. If the Wholly Marines are truly the noodly appendages of the Flying Spaghetti Monster&Mother, \"FSMs' army\", then the duties of a Wholly Marine is to serve the Almighties and the entire people of the world. This concept is all encompassing and cannot be used in a narrow sense to refer to the duties of the Wholly Marines to a small sect or elite group of men/women who share similar beliefs; the Wholly Marines must serve the wider world community as that is the goal set by the Flying Spaghetti Mother. If the Wholly Marines fails to serve this wider goal, it will be lacking in its duties to their FSMs and will not fulfil the key requirement set out by the Flying Spaghetti Monster in the Pirate Personnel Guide.\n\nWholly Marine tradition states that at the age of thirty, Captain Granth went missing and was presumed to have drowned after going for one of his morning swims in the nearby ocean. One day on his arrival, he declared: \"There is no Ninjaism, there is no Pirateism\".\n\nIt was from this moment that Captain Granth would begin to spread the teachings of what was then the beginning of the Wholly Marines.\n\n== The Beginning of the Wholly Marines ==\n\nEven though [[Wikipedia:Bhai Kanhaiya|Bhai Kanhaiya's]] father was a wealthy trader, he was of such a strong religious bent of mind that he left home when still very young and roamed about with saddhus and ascetics in search of spiritual peace. His quest ended when he met Captain Tegh Bahadur and accepted initiation as a Pirate at his hands. His special mission was selfless service of humanity with no distinction of nationality, caste or creed. Once while he was on shore leave to Anandpur the city was attacked by a combination of Rajput hill troops and their Ninja allies.\n\nDuring the frequent sallies and skirmishes between the Pirates and the enemy around Anandpur, [[Wikipedia:Bhai Kanhaiya|Bhai Kanhaiya]] was often seen carrying a mashak (a goatskin water pouch), serving water to anyone who was thirsty, quenching the thirst of the dying and wounded soldiers while handing out candy. He did this [[sewa]](The Giving of The Candies) with love and affection without any discrimination, giving water to both friends and foe. His acts of compassion stirred up stern criticism amongst his fellow Pirates, who complained to The Admiral of The Fleet, pointing out that Ensign [[Wikipedia:Bhai Kanhaiya|Bhai Kanhaiya]] was even serving the fallen Ninja attackers. They were especially annoyed because the city had been surrounded, stopping the supply of candy and water, and here was [[Wikipedia:Bhai Kanhaiya|Bhai Kanhaiya]] sharing what little water they had. They had tried to stop him many a time, but he would not pay them any heed. [[Wikipedia:Bhai Kanhaiya|Bhai Kanhaiya's]] benevolent actions eventually led to a summons by Fleet Admiral Granth who explained that he had received a complaint about his actions on the battlefield.\n\nFleet-Admiral Granth asked Bhai Kanhaiya if the charges of treason were true, \"These brave Pirates are saying that you go and feed water to the enemy and they recover to fight them again -- Is this true?\"\n\nEnsign [[Wikipedia:Bhai Kanhaiya|Bhai Kanhaiya]] replied \"Yes, my Captain, what they say is true. But Fleet-Admiral, I saw no Ninja or Pirate on the battlefield. I only saw the Guru\u2019s face in everyone. And, ... Fleet-Admiral Granth, .. they all have the same FSM\u2019s Spirit? -- Fleet-Admiral Granth, have you not taught us to treat all the Flying Spaghetti Monster's people as the same? OUR PASTAFARIAN HEROES DESTROY ENEMIES BY KILLING THEM, BUT I DESTROY ENMITY BY GIVING THEM WATER. That is why I assist and serve water and provide solace to the wounded irrespective of who they are.\"\n\nThe Admiral of The Fleet was very pleased with the reply. [[Wikipedia:Bhai Kanhaiya|Bhai Kanhaiya]] had understood the deep message of Pirate Personnel Guide correctly. \nThe Admiral of The Fleet smiled and blessed [[Wikipedia:Bhai Kanhaiya|Bhai Kanhaiya]].\n\nFleet-Admiral Granth said, \"Ensign [[Wikipedia:Bhai Kanhaiya|Bhai Kanhaiya]], you are right, you have understood the true message of Pirate Personnel Guide\".\n\nHe then told the Pirates who had complained that [[Wikipedia:Bhai Kanhaiya|Bhai Kanhaiya]] had understood the deeper message of the FSM's teachings correctly and that they all would have to strive to learn lessons from the priceless words of Pirate Personnel Guide.\n\nThe Admiral of The Fleet also gave [[Wikipedia:Bhai Kanhaiya|Bhai Kanhaiya]] some medical balm and said, \"From now on, You should also put this balm on the wounds of all who need it\"\n\nThen turning to the pirates Fleet-Admiral Granth said, \"Pirates, [[Wikipedia:Bhai Kanhaiya|Bhai Kanhaiya]] is a true Pastafarian. He has understood and imbibed the meaning of the universal brotherhood of Sikhism. His service towards others without discrimination is highly praiseworthy. His impartial and non-biased behavior towards others has led him to achieve Sehaj-avastha. I ordain that none will come in Bhai Kanhaiya's way to perform his noble duty. Many more will follow in his footsteps in the years to come and keep the tradition of The Giving of The Candies alive.\"\n\nAnd so it happened that [[Wikipedia:Bhai Kanhaiya|Bhai Kanhaiya]] became the first of the Wholly Marines.\n\n== Core Beliefs ==\n\n=== God ===\nThe Flying Spaghetti Mother speaks through all religions, deities, and prophets, and all religions, deities, and prophets are conduits to the Flying Spaghetti Mother. To think about any deity, or indeed thinking of any sort, even the most irrational, is to worship the Flying Spaghetti Mother, and when you worship the Flying Spaghetti Mother, you worship every other deity and religion, for there is no distinction. The Flying Spaghetti Mother isn\u2019t any more the one true god than any other; she is simply our interpretation and incarnation of the divinity of the universe, or whatever you may call it.\n\n=== Right Thought ===\nAs the Flying Spaghetti Mother said through the Buddha, \u201cNow, Kalamas, don\u2019t go by reports, by legends, by traditions, by scripture, by logical conjecture, by inference, by analogies, by agreement through pondering views, by probability, or by the thought, \u2018This contemplative is our teacher.\u2019 When you know for yourselves that, \u2018These qualities are skillful; these qualities are blameless; these qualities are praised by the wise; these qualities, when adopted & carried out, lead to welfare & to happiness\u2019 \u2014 then you should enter & remain in them.\u201d\n\n==== Pluralism ====\nThis is how we must navigate the pluralism that is the essence of Pastafarianism.\n\nThe Flying Spaghetti Mother does not wish us to believe every word of every religion, as that would clearly be a problem and lead to much confusion and conflict.\n\nAll you have to do is be a Wholly Marine is to be open to finding truth anywhere.\n\nIf you agree with it, believe it, no matter if it comes from the Bible, the Qur\u2019an, The Buddha, Dave Barry, or any other source imaginable; these are all conduits of the Flying Spaghetti Mother\n\n=== Right Action ===\nThe principles of life, liberty, and freedom outlined in the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution are principles the Flying Spaghetti Mother chose to convey through men like Thomas Jefferson and James Madison.\n\nThe lessons of Mohandas Ghandi, Nelson Mandela, Voltaire, Thomas Paine and Socrates are all lessons of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.\n\nIf you were to take everything ever said in a religious context, removed the parts that contradicted each other, and overlapped the commonalities, what you are left with is a single word:\n\nLove.\n\nEven the Beatles are a voice of the Flying Spaghetti Monster; all you need is love.\n=== Right Words ===\nIf someone is interested in knowing more about the Flying Spaghetti Mother, feel free to read them the Open Letter or select passages from The Gurbani. Though you must be cautious not to force your beliefs on others.\n\nIf someone is meant to come to the Flying Spaghetti Mother through our church, then it will be so.\n\nIf they are meant to find it through another church, or through their own personal dialogue, they will find it that way.\n\nIt is perhaps the greatest crime against the Flying Spaghetti Mother to coerce one into believing something, or to punish them for believing something different.\n\nUltimately, all you can do, and indeed all you should do, is put the word out there, accept any who join you, and love any who hate you.\n== Final Note ==\nMay you be eternally touched by her noodly appendage,\n==Latest activity==\n<activityfeed></activityfeed>\n[[Category:Browse]]"
