Rick, As far as I know, the Buddha did not talk about God. Personally, I think there are a lot of Buddhists who either do not believe in God or do not understand what is meant when you talk about God, but I could be wrong. I think Western Buddhists are not representative of the majority of Asian Buddhists. I am confident atheists can begin to climb the staircase of spiritual meditation, but believe it would be dangerous to their belief system to go too high--for the higher experiences would shatter their conception of a Godless reality. What about Christians? Don't you think many Christians would have shattered conceptions of God as they climbed the staircase of spiritual meditation? Do you believe a meditator could experience Nirvana and remain atheist? Yes, I think this is possible.
