What was the God of Hegel and Hitler?
In an attempt to unify man and God, Hegel identified God as, man thus submerging God into a man. His philosophy was that of the religion of the self and identification of oneself with God would be the premise of religion. In his "spirit of Christianity "theory, Hegel counters orthodox Christian belief that God became a man through Jesus Christ but rather to him, it was a case of man became God. That the absolute self of a man is God and that when a man strives to be like God, he is only striving to be himself, and recognizing his true nature.
