8. The teachings of Buddhism

Make no demands of a god being necissary. In fact it even suggests that as Buddhism advances any concepts of god may start to wane in a believer. The idea of the Buddha is that the Buddha is just some guy that "Got it". Thus many people can be Buddha. If they have found some great insite into the world they are Buddha.
