Buddhism, along with Jainism, is the only non-theistic traditional religion. The Buddhist view is that all sentient beings will inevitably become Buddhas one day, equal to all Buddhas of the past, present and future. Now, a Buddha is not (a) God. According to Buddhism, God does not exist. As Buddhism has been confronted with the majority or dominant theistic religions from its foundation to the present day, it has developed a stance and a set of arguments to support its position. First we will briefly situate religious beliefs within a spectrum: belief, disbelief (including atheism), lack of belief (the forms of agnosticism), non-belief (indifference), and the like; then we will explain the status of the gods in Buddhism. Rebirth as a god is only one of many possible rebirths. It is the highest possible rebirth; however, as with any rebirth, it is still temporary and marred by suffering. Only Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of a certain level are liberated from suffering and from compulsory and involuntary rebirths, which are driven by karma, good or bad. After this we will briefly compare the primary characteristics of the Buddhas with those of the Judeo-Christian God, mainly in terms of : omnipotence, omniscience, “all-lovingness”. Along the way, we will encounter important theological questions, such as the cohabitation of “all-loving” transcendence with the immanent, omnipresent suffering of beings. Of course we will not be able to answer these questions, but we will pose them within a sound framework provided by a user-friendly semiotics, thus paving a way toward the answers.
