In the Theravada Buddhism that I have been practising for more than 30 years I have yet to find or read about a " god ".

The Buddah stated that there are no gods and he certainly wasn't agod.

Why am I and a lot of westerners followers of the Buddhas teaching?

I never had and belief in a god/supreme being.

The dhamma is all I need to live by.

Peace

Gerry
