But no one can verify if there is a creator God since he is almighty, right?<\/p>\n<p><strong>A:<\/strong> Everyone can personally know there is no creator god \u2013 by becoming a Buddha oneself &#8211; thoroughly enlightened. The Buddha clearly denounced any sensibility in believing there is a creator god. We know this too by simple logic. <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">If there is an almighty good creator God, there will be zero suffering in the world from day one till now<\/span> \u2013 but look at the world in the past and today \u2013 it is full of suffering.<\/p>\n<p>If there is a creator God, he will not make his existence unverifiable as it does no good to anyone \u2013 not even himself &#8211; especially if he wants his existence to be believed in by as many followers as possible. It is the other way round \u2013<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"> If there is an almighty good creator God, he can easily, with his almightiness, make all believe in him instantly<\/span> \u2013 now. But this does not happen \u2013 which proves there is no almighty God. Though there is no creator God; that it is an illusion of some gods, according to the Buddha, that they are creators.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related Article:<\/strong><br \/>\nHow Humans &amp; Gods Cyclically Arose<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/2010\/03\/how-humans-and-gods-arose\">https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/2010\/03\/how-humans-and-gods-arose<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Q: In Buddhism, is it not so that only the Buddha can verify if there is a creator God or&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[244],"class_list":["post-5915","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mix","tag-god","wpcat-1-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5915","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5915"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5915\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5915"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5915"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5915"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
