I don't know what your goal is nor do I care. But, anyway, I found some evidence about sacrificing bulls.

See? That's why I told you not to spew nonsense about other religions about which you have no knowledge?
To know about Gandhi's views on God, read this article.

I hope the above two links will make you stop spewing any more garbage about topics at which you are zero.
Wight, all you have demonstrated here is your abysmal failure at understanding the English language. Clearly, since you do not understand what is written, it all seems like garbage to you. The evidence of your stupidity are as follows -
1. The link you gave as evidence of sacrificing bulls, does not mention bulls even once. The animal being sacrificed there is a buffalo and a buffalo is not a bull.
2. About Gandhi's beliefs, most of those are clearly influenced by Gita, something to be expected from a Vaishnav Hindu. Even the evidence that he was brought up in that tradition is clear in the passage. Here's a quote that demonstrate that
"You may call this a superstition, but I confess it is a superstition that I hug, even as I used to hug the name of Rama in my childhood when there was any cause of danger or alarm. That was what an old nurse had taught me."
Here's another one -
"Therefore it is that Hinduism calls it all His sport-lila, or calls it all an illusion-maya. We are not, He alone Is. And if we will be, we must eternally sing His praise and do His will. Let us dance to the tune of His bansi-lute, and all would be well."
Which Hindu god is particularly known for his "lila" and plays the "bansi"? Could it be Krishna?
Here's another one -
"In my early youth I was taught to repeat what in Hindu scriptures are known as one thousand names of God."
Do you know which scripture he was talking about? The words Vishnu Sahasranaama come to mind. Clearly, all of his beliefs about god, truth and this world were a product of Vaishnav Hinduism.
3. Finally, and this evidence shows that you don't just fail to understand your own links, but what is written in this forum as well, I am from India, I was born a Hindu (or rather to a Hindu family), I live in Mumbai and my family is deeply religious. Perhaps my repeated mentions of how they frown on me eating beef might have been a clue. Or perhaps you should stop spewing garbage about things you clearly don't know and don't understand.
