Why is Buddhism popular and Taoism annoying?

During this time, I always argued with a friend in the group about Buddhism and Taoism. I prefer Buddhism to Taoism; On the contrary, he likes Taoism and hates Buddhism. And it can be seen from the argument that he hates Buddhism very much. Compared with my dislike of Taoism, talking about Buddhism is completely angry. And I, although I hated Tao since I was a child, still don't like it, but with the passage of time and the hardships of the world, I have turned my disgust into a simple disgust, not to the point of hate. My friend introduced the worship of Taoism in Sanqing, and I remembered that Jin Yong wrote Zhang Sanfeng as the founder of Taoism in his martial arts novels. My friend threw up on me, hehe. Seeing that he is so obsessed with Taoism, he decided to look it up online and study it himself. When I was a child, watching Liaozhai and Laoshan Taoist was simply envy. I have a yearning for Penglai Wonderland. I am eager to go to Penglai Island when I grow up to see how beautiful the old fairy with white beard is to Luan! At that time, I liked sendoh very much. After reading the history books, I saw the Taoist priest who was an alchemist and the Dojo who set up an altar to beg for rain. When I am old, I know that fortune telling also comes from Taoism. The eight diagrams of Taiji are used in the consequences of people's past lives and in people's names, from which the eight characters are calculated. Therefore, it suddenly dawned on me that Taoist priests are deceptive things-can they cultivate immortals? Can ordinary people do it? Who can become an immortal is simply a delusion. Which Taoist refined the elixir of life? Everything is cheating, even those who are considered ignorant by the ruled know that it is an unpredictable and even unattainable thing. Buddhism can help people cultivate their own self-cultivation. Although there are superstitious things in it, at least it can give people a kind of spiritual sustenance and promote a kind of kindness and selflessness. Whether the people understand it or not, they can at least get in touch with and get some liberation. Taoism can't satisfy this extravagant hope of ordinary people. Because of the hardships of life and a desire for the future, ordinary people also like to calculate eight characters. But the monks in the temple will also draw lots to calculate. Then there will be reincarnation theory to save a life that might have completely lost confidence in life. This is why Buddhism has a long-term foothold among the people, right? Taoism seems only to serve the rulers, and seems only to care for the upper class (this may be my misunderstanding or prejudice). It does not give you confidence in life, but only implies whether you have the value of existence. And people often don't know where the value of their existence lies. I often feel that I am too small to exist, not to mention how unattainable it is to cultivate immortality. In fact, Taoism is just a sect, just like Buddhism. Taoist priests can live well in the world if they can truly carry forward and popularize the essence of Taoism instead of using crooked ways. Tao is a philosophy. Although Buddhism is not as good as Taoist philosophy, it captures people's hearts with a kind of good thought and controls the return of mankind. Abandoning evil and doing good is a beautiful thing, and anyone will accept it and accept Buddhism. The reason is as simple as that. Ha ha!
