prohibition of eating beef by buddhism is plain bullshit. no such thing. BTW GuanYinMa is not a religion doh.gif Sometimes i really can't stand people saying that all the time. Giving incense to 'buddha' ? Like, what the hell? Since when buddha needs offerings?

Are you a Taoist? I'm interested in knowing what religion you follow, or you are an atheist. Not that there's anything wrong, but you seems to mistake several stuff there

Nobody said Buddhist cannot eat beef. Some Taoist just refrain from eating beef.
No one said Guan Yin is a religion either.

Buddhism is more of a philosophy

Taoism is a polytheism religion, just like Hinduism
Islam and Christianity are monotheism.

Buddhism is none of those

It seems like common misconception among the chinese community where 'buddhists' can't eat beef, where in fact they're simply taoists. However I strongly doubt there's any authentic Taoists around who follow strictly to the rules of Taoism.

"The number one cause of atheism is Christians. Those who proclaim God with their mouths and deny Him with their lifestyles is what an unbelieving world finds simply unbelievable." - Karl Rahner
