Because we believe we all people are in control of themselves and their choices, there is not pre-destined path for us. This is like asking why Christian's believe in God, it's just how they were set up.

∙ 14y agoBuddhists do not have a god because the Buddha taught a path to the end of suffering through a rational examination of what we can know through our own direct experience -- through our senses. The vast majority of Buddhists have no experience of deities through their senses. Since we cannot know whether there are or are not gods (or souls, or life after death) through our senses, we can't gain any useful information about them -- anything we say about them is mere guesswork and therefore is not useful to ending suffering here in this life.
