First, some forms of Buddhism do accept the concept of having one divine creator, and many forms of Buddhism believe in a host of different mortal gods, spirits and other entities. Prayers and incantations are abundant in many forms of Buddhism. So, while god is not a central idea in most Buddhist traditions, some sects of Buddhism do believe in a god.
First, I wouldn't call mortals gods, if they are mortal they're not gods, and our inquiry about such a belief stops here. Second, I don't think there is any sect in Buddhism who explicity warrants a creator. From what I could find in popular articles about Buddhism from Wiki and such, the closest idea to God is that of 'Sunyata' which means emptiness from which all things emerge, however any concept of god is by definition the absolute opposite to emptiness.

Any belief in more than one supreme (omnipotent) being can be proved to be impossible logically, if more than one god exist, then they cannot exceed each other's will, therefore none of them is god.
Also a non personal god cannot be just, because he chose not to guide humanity by any kind of connexion, leaving them in complete existential loss.
