So I was recently watching a Dennis Prager(U) video where in Dennis Prager addresses these two statements:
I believe in God
I believe in the Necessity of God
and what those two different statements tell us about the speaker.
Ep. 242 — The Necessity of Fathers | PragerU Relevant section begins at the 19:30 mark till the 26:15 mark.
TLDW: Asserts that you actually don't really learn anything about someone that states they believe in God. You don't know if they're kind or cruel or anything about how they treat their fellow man. Whereas those that state they believe in the necessity of God (and Dennis Prager explains this much better in the video) see the requirement to follow the moral values in God's law which reveals a good deal about an individual.
Recommend you watch the 7 minutes or so
Really, I just thought this take was pretty interesting as I've never put this thought together myself. What say you all?
