Are Buddhists really atheists?

Atheists in the West claim that Buddhists are atheists, so they (the atheists in the West) feel better that they are not the only atheists in the world.

My purpose is to ask Buddhists whether they really deny that God exists.

From my part, I know from my reason and intelligence that God exists.

So, paging Buddhists, please come over and let us discuss whether you Buddhists really deny God exists.

Where is the 'i'?

It's up to you, Entwistle, for according to you being a Buddhist, your kind of Buddhism requires you to consider every human to be non-existing, nonetheless - no matter we are still having a viable dialogue.

Now, suppose you or your 'i' is the victim in an accident while crossing a busy street, I still have to bring your non-existent 'i' to the hospital out of it is the right thing to do to a fellow human, even though he claims to be a non-existent 'i'.

@yrger Then point to the 'i'. Where is it?

@yrger You can't take something that doesn't exist anywhere.
The body and mind complex exist but both are dependent arising's.
However both do not exist in the way we tend to think they do..ergo independently.
