Taoists generally leave small offerings of fruit or vegetable in front of statues of the gods or the Immortals.
Taoists do sacrifice animals. However most taoists disagree with it, as their is the more philosophical side which beleives the Tao is in everything and we should treat nature and mankind as equals, and their is the more religious side where their are gods and a heaven. However, speaking as a Taoist and vegetarian, i detest sacrifice and think its cruel and wrong.
AnswerTaoism is an inclusive religion in that it does not reject the gods of other religions. While Taoists worship their own gods, they would not claim that the gods of other religions, such as Christianity, do not exist. Individual beliefs vary even more widely than do those of Christians, but I have put that question to a Taoist priest. Jesus, as a God of Christianity, would be accepted as probably real, but not relevant to followers of Taoism.

Taoists don't believe in any gods. They believe in peace and calmness through the body. They don't often pray but when they do, it's often for someone to talk to. Taoists believe in kung fu and all of that stuff but don't have any gods to worship. So if you find a name for a god of the Taoist it's happy for you but i don't think there is a Taoist god. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Taoists believe in numerous deities, headed by the Jade Emperor & his Bride the Empress of the West. Above the Jade Emperor are the 3 Pure Ones.

If you accept that the gods desire sacrifice, it is then logical to offer the most valuable type of sacrifice, which would be people, in order to obtain the favor of the gods.
