Siddhartha Gautama, or Buddha, was created by God, yes.
Everyone who is not God was created by God (Genesis 1:27; Ecclesiastes 7:29; Isaiah 46:9), and God cannot lie (Titus 1:2; Hebrews 6:18), and is never wrong (Colossians 2:3; John 21:17; 1 John 3:20). If Buddha claimed there is no ultimate creator God, then either he was wrong or he was lying, thereby identifying himself as not-that-god, since God cannot lie and is never wrong. Since Buddha was not-that-god, he was, like everything that is not-that-god, created by the only creator God (John 1:3; Colossians 1:16).
All humans, other than Jesus the Christ (Hebrews 4:15), have sinned, or disobeyed the God who created them (Romans 3:23, 5:12). This includes Siddhartha Gautama. As a result, Gautama, like everyone else, deserves both temporal death and the second, everlasting death (Romans 6:23; Revelation 21:8).
If we do not have the faith of Abraham in the God who both created us and can save us from the penalty of sin (Romans 4:3-8), we have no guarantee of forgiveness. Rather, the Bible says that all unbelievers will be cast into the second death (Revelation 21:8), and that all are without excuse (Romans 1:20-21; Psalm 14:1).
I am far from an expert on the life and faith of Buddha. Whether or not Siddhartha Gautama himself is in hell, experiencing the second death, I myself cannot say with confidence. It would appear from what the Bible says and from the assumptions in the question itself, namely that Gautama denied the existence of his own creator God and the only savior God that would be offered to him, that yes, he is currently attempting to pay the penalty for his own sins where the worm does not die and the fire is not quenched (Isaiah 66:24; Mark 9:43-48).
Regardless of what state Siddhartha Gautama is currently in, you the reader can be right with God in spite of your own disobedience against Him. By asking for God's forgiveness, and placing your life in the hands of Jesus, by trusting His sacrifice on your behalf, if you have not already done so, you can be forgiven (Romans 5:8; Acts 2:21; Romans 10:9-10).
Whether or not it is too late for Buddha, it is not too late for us! (2 Corinthians 6:2)

Once again more lies from Tim. Yes you can be forgiven but if, and only if, Tim's god hasn't already created you reprobate. If so, you're damned to eternal torment in hell forever and there's not a single thing you can do about it. And Tim thinks this is just dandy because Tim thinks fictional creations and actual people are the same thing.
Gautama Buddha never said that there is no God.
He said that knowing the existence of is not necessary to achieve nirvana and so salvation. He also said that debating his existence is cause to suffering.
If was true that Gautama Buddha is now in hell, I'm sorry but I don't want to believe to a God that would do that horrible thing. That god would be evil. Siddhartha taught peace, happiness and compassion. Uh, by the way, Christianity wasn't a thing when he was around.
Buddha, Siddarth was born into a religion that beleived in a creator God and he later attained enlightenment from the one and only by ridding himself completely of earthly attachments. (Suffering, desire, need, etc) Buddha was also a pestimist (needs to see it to beleive it.) as his upbringing was harsh and engulfed in war, terrible suffering and poverty of his people. Many of his people worshiped the creator (father) and other beings... Buddha created, not a religion of a God but a path to rid yourself of desire and cycle of hell. He stated both yes and no about the creator, he wanted people to be enlightened not worsp ideals. I beleive that Buddha said, God will incarnate as man and take you to heaven directly
2.Jesus cannot be great if he is the son of God. I am that I am. He just is.
3. If there is no empirical proof that God is always right.
4. The old testament was a political book to unite the jew tribes, unite a kingdom.
The new testament was a political book to unite the roman empire. The Quran was a political book to unite the Arab tribes. Bubbhism was a religion used to unite a divided Indian empire.
5. Christian ethics is robbed from Greek philosophy which aligns with Buddhist ethics and superior to Jewish ethics which frankly come a poor second.
The Bible is a book, its a political book, its foundations are the used to create the Jewish nation by the Jewish elite. It concerns itself with war, worship and leadership of the Israeli nation.
The Romans robbed the concept, to unite the nations it conquered. Paul was a roman citizen and gospel could only spread globally with the roman empire in place.
