A creator god violates the law of dependent origination, which is that everything, all phenomena, come into existence based on previous causes and conditions. So if there were a creator god (which there isn't) what were its previous causes and conditions? Who or what created the creator god? God is merely a projected concept. My dog thinks I'm his god.

and for those of you who are don't already know, Buddhism is NOT a religion. It is the practice of training one's own mind.
