The concept about saying that in India people (hindus) worship cows and many outsiders & other ignorant people saying that Indians even consider that cows are Gods is...........completely wrong.
This custom in india ...worshiping cows or giving them special food on hindu festivels is dating long ago.
First up all you should think .,,what kind of religion is hinduism. It is not even a religion but a culture which is strongly based on AHIMSA ..means no killing or no hurting. There are even hindus (ignorant) who might say the same thing. Because there is no real common teaching or organization which can follow all hindus in the world.....so the knowledge about the past and customs is pitty.
The most famous personality or avatar which has more influence on hindus ..is Lord Krishna...the 8th Avatar of Lord Vishnu.....(it is believed that Gauthama Buddha is 9nth avatar)who was a carer of cows especially during his time (other animals weren`t that famous for milk and milk products..even today) also dairy products are well used during any hindu festivels or ceremonies. So it is very obvious that in a ``religion`` which is based on AHIMSA ..you can`t expect slaughter of animals or using meat...instead they believe and live in a manner where you can give love and care then recieve what animals give you for their daily life. So the only way to respect Krishna and his memmories ..is by taking care if these cows.
If you look at other personalities in hinduism you can see the same thing...eg; Lord shiva.
Those hindus who say that they dont eat beaf or cow due to their believeness are really wrong....if you eat meat eat all kind of meats people eat....or don`t eat any meat not even egg.
Plus I think they use kind of mask to show that they are religious
but has no base.
You read books on and investigate what you really want to know..don`t trust what people says on internet. Look for real knowledge.

Which of the myriad made up deities do you speak of? The Judeo-Chrisitan bi-polar god? Perhaps the God of the Nation of Islam. In hinduism, i think they have multiple gods, and they do hold the cow as a sacred creature....
Please define which god you are talking about.

because you are looking for someone to blame your problems on, so you blame it on a god, cause gods don't talk back.
