________________ 55555 45 55 JAIN CENTER OF AMERICA PARYUSHAN 1984 9494 S 4 People believing in God as a creator look upon Jainism as Atheistic, but it can not be called so. Jainism can not deny the existence of God but there is a difference between the description of God of others and the description given in the religious books of the Jains'. The main difference is that the books of other faiths treat God as creator and a ruler but it is not so in Jainism. God in Jainism is all knowing and perfectly happy soul with infinite capacity for activities and a pure and perfect soul with any material body, a being that can not perish or become degenerate.
