Purpose is not in issue. A radius is necessary to a circle, but that doesn't mean the circle has purpose. The question before us is whether a god can be "necessary" to all possible worlds in the same sense that a radius is necessary to a circle. Purpose doesn't come into it.
The radius does have a purpose, of maintaining the circle, after all a circle without a radius isn't a circle, right?
