Is there a god?
In Jainism, there is no creator god who made the universe.
Jain dharma teaches that the universe is eternal, without beginning or end, and it operates according to its own natural laws. In Jain philosophy, a liberated soul is called Paramatma or Siddha, but this is not a creator deity. A soul becomes liberated through right faith, right knowledge, and right conduct, especially through ahimsa, tapa, and karma-nirjara.
So, from the Jain view:
- No all-creating God
- Yes, liberated souls exist
- Every soul has the potential to become free
If you want, I can also explain the Jain view of God, soul, and karma in very simple terms.
