In this land of Bharat
The ancient sacred relationship between
Preceptor and pupil has vanished.
The treasure of Truth and Self-discipline has been lost.
Faith in God and devotion have declined.
Assertion of freedom without responsibility has grown
beyond bounds.
Wealth has become the sole aim,
And righteousness has receded to the background.
What else can I convey to you,
Oh good and noble people assembled here?

Oh good and noble people assembled here!
May you be filled with mutual affection and unalloyed Joy!
May you be compassionate towards all those who are afflicted!
May you lead righteous family lives and be an example to all;
May you be ever earnest in the pursuit of Dharma and Jnana!
This is my benediction for all of you. What more can I tell you?

Everything has been created out of Truth
And all creation is embedded in Truth.
There is no place where Truth does not shine.
Realise that this is the Supreme Truth.
And all creation is embedded in Truth.
There is no place where Truth does not shine.

Where there is Love, there is Peace.
Where there is Peace, there is Truth.
Where there is Truth, there is Bliss.
Where there is Bliss, there is God.
Where there is Peace, there is Truth.
Where there is Truth, there is Bliss.
Where there is Bliss, there is God.

My friend there are lots of Cristians B'live in Lord Buddha it dosn't mean that they dont b'liv in GOD...
I know where you wants to go...
Are you trying to compare an Omnipotent God to a creator of Road Rules?Ok lets get back to your question anyway....
Who's responsible if you break road rules? Answer... YOU
Why? Because you are responsible for your actions, also because the person who broke the law is not a creation of the person who set the rules... so the person who broke the law is independent from the creator of the rules.. THAT'S the difference!
This is what Buddhism says! END OF THE STORY!!
So if you believe there's an Omnipotent God, whose creation were Laws of Physics? and who controls cause and effect?
Birth: Rebirth: Freedom
Like the reflection that does not adhere to the mirror,
Like the water on the lotus leaf that is unattached to it,
Sins do not adhere to the man of devotion.
Birth and death revolve together
Like the two wheels of a cart;
If one goes, Creation itself will come to a stop;
This is the secret of Creation on earth.

Ok I'll ask you another question is it unfair? as per the above example road rules are unfair?
1. A single rule you set aside, or lying words you speak,
The world beyond you ridicule - no evil you won't do!
2. Better for you to swallow a ball of iron red-hot and flaming with fire,
Than on the alms of the people to live, while immoral, indulgent, intemperate.
3. If it's suffering you fear, if it's suffering you dislike,
Just do no evil deeds at all - for all to see or secretly.
4. Even a flight in the air cannot free you from suffering,
After the deed which is evil has once been committed.
5. Not in the sky nor in the ocean's middle,
Nor if you were to hide in cracks in mountains,
Can there be found on this wide earth a corner
Where karma does not catch up with the culprit.
6. But if you see the evil others do, and if you feel you disapprove,
Be careful not to do likewise, for people's deeds remain with them.
7. Those who cheat in business deals, those who act against the Dharma,
Those who swindle, those who trick - not only harm their fellow-men,
They hurl themselves into a gorge, for people's deeds remain with them.
8. Whatever deeds a man may do, be they delightful, be they bad,
They make a heritage for him; deeds do not vanish without trace.
9. A man will steal while profit seems to lie that way.
Then others steal from him, and so the thief by thieving is undone,
10. The fool, while sinning, thinks and hopes, 'This never will catch up with me'.
Wait till you're in the other world, and there the fate of sinners learn!
11. The fool, while sinning, thinks and hopes, 'This never will catch up with me'.
But later on there's bitterness, when punishment must be endured.
12. The fool does evil deeds while unaware of what they lead to.
By his own deeds the stupid man is burnt, as though burnt up by fire.
13. The fools, unwise, behave as though they were their own worst enemies,
Committing many evil deeds which issue then in bitter fruits.
14. Not is an action called 'well done', which makes us suffer afterwards,
Of which we reap the fruit in tears, with weeping, wailing and lament.
15. That action only is 'well done', which brings no suffering in its train,
Of which we reap the fruit quite glad, in happiness, with joyous heart.
16. In hot pursuit of their own joys they laugh when they do evil deeds.
They'll weep with pain and misery, when they receive their punishment.
17. An evil deed need not at once cause trouble to the man who did it.
It keeps up with the careless fool, just as a fire, smouldering under ashes.
18. Just like a new-forged blade the evil deed need not at once cause any wounds.
Wait till you're in the other world, and there the fate of sinners learn!
For later on there's bitterness, when punishment must be endured.
19. The iron itself createth the rust,
Which slowly is bound to consume it.
The evil-doer by his own deeds
Is led to a life full of suffering.
The world beyond you ridicule - no evil you won't do!
2. Better for you to swallow a ball of iron red-hot and flaming with fire,

It seems u don't know even basics of Buddhism. There is nothing called belief in Buddhism. Beliefs r something related to religions what Buddhism is not. God of creation is a concept that has no facts. Mom & Dad r our creators. So I can say there r my god of creation if needed. Try to understand if u can.
The Buddha
This Lord is truly the Arhat, fully enlightened, perfect in his knowledge and conduct, well-gone, world-knower, unsurpassed, leader of men to be tamed, teacher of gods and men, the Buddha, the Lord.
What had to be fully known, that I have fully known;
What had to be developed, that I have developed;
What was to be forsaken, that I have forsaken.
Therefore, O Brahmin, I am the Buddha.

There are more than 33 billion gods around us. but they are not aware of human and dont like to to communicate with humans. and they dont have super powers to create a world. they are our diseased relatives. some of they become demons and other astral beings, some become human and born again in this plane, some become animals, these things are well documanted in SUTRA PITAKA.
