If im honest i dont have a clue what my god does i just fancied sounding philosophical and reading the replies
And who claims that? Strawman much?
OH, yes! Christians! -- "in the beginning the deity magicked life, the universe, and everything and it all just appeared from nothing".
Yeah, OK, I get your drift now....
Ok, honest answer and I would agree, I don't see how anyone can say with any confidence, what a God does or doesn't do, if one exists, unless they are just making it up to fit a certain belief they have.
what do Buddhists believe now you have my drift ,
What does that have to do with the fact that your god is seemingly unloving?
Conveniently, when an atheist sees that atheism is boring and fails to answer the hard questions, they'll turn to something such as Buddhism which supposes spirituality with no governing Deity.
In other words, Buddhists and deists are definitively anti-Christian. They have acknowledged a premise of spirituality and yet completely reject the true God. A technique of deception, if you ask me.
If you claim a person is immoral for not alleviating the suffering of people when they could, and you do not alleviate the suffering of people when you could, you are immoral by your own standard.
That is my point.

Believe about what?
What are you alluding to -- what do you think "Buddhists believe"?
What "spirituality"? I don't think you have any idea what you are going on about.
What is this "sherlock" business? Does it have anything to do with the seeming inability you display to capitalize and use punctuation?
If your vague question is inquiring as to Buddhism vis-a-vis creation myths, the answer is that Buddhism is not in need of creation myths. And if that is the tack you are attempting to take, you are simply throwing out a red herring as a dodge and derailment to avoid addressing the topic.
God chose to create beings with the ability to choose to obey Him or disobey Him. There are many things God cannot do. Omnipotence =/= ability to do anything.
I'm just revealing your antagonistic, atheist grandstanding for what it is.
You all are a dime a dozen. You are far from the first and far from the last of those types I will encounter in my lifetime.
The very fact that you are so absurdly ridiculous to talk to, have no depth or respect whatsoever, just shows how laughable it is to see one prescribe their self Buddhism.
Forget it Sherlock ( work it out seeing as your so smart ) your boring me to death
He doesn't want to slip up and say something wrong
I've met two Buddhists in my lifetime, and they are both very intellectually deep people. If we were having a discussion with a real Buddhist, it would be nothing like what Mockingbird has been perpetuating: typical anti-theist with a chip on his shoulder.
God is immoral because He gave mankind the capacity to choose and act between good and evil?
Reaping what one sows is the centrifugal force of what you call 'punishment'.
God calls homosexuality an abomination, and the majority of HIV is indeed manifested among homosexuals.
Did God cause it, or are eople just reaping what they sow?
If your father teaches you that something is wrong, and you go and do it anyway, it is by your hand what you reap.

Nice to see you start a sentence with a capital letter. Try working on commas and periods next.
My dear Lestrade, what part of "Buddhism is not in need of creation myths" did you fail to grasp?
HipTip: The Tibetan religions are basically Bon and animism with a veneer of BUddhist teachings. About as far as you could get away from what the Buddha actually taught and still call oneself "Buddhist".
But again: This thread isn't about Buddhism, didn't you know?
