There is no god to a Buddhist. Everything in your life is run by you, you own the consequences of your actions. A Buddhist has no reason to think about the Christian God.

The Buddha himself is not a god, he is a man who pursued the goal of enlightenment and achieved it.

The effect of all of this is that Buddhists do a lot of thinking about their actions and the attitudes and experiences that drive these actions. They attempt to strengthen the positive and reduce the negative with a view to reducing desire in their lives. As indicated in the Four Noble Truths, desire is seen as the root cause of suffering. They receive help in this by the ideas laid out by the Eightfold Path and commentaries prepared by scholars and the recorded words of the Buddha himself in the Sutras.
