With questions like, is it "Buddha" or "The Buddha"? How did the full battle scene go between Mara and Buddha? When people convert to Monks are all their past crimes legally forgiven?

Since there are no deities in Buddhism, would a belief in the Supreme Chicken [the chicken honoured as a God by all other chickens] clash with a belief in the Buddha's teachings, or make it more difficult for the chickens to attain nirvana? [well, that and the fact that we're likely to eat them anyway?]
