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?
A radius by itself is just a line.
Without anchoring one end to a still point and spinning the other end all the way around the point....there is no circle.
The purpose of a radius is to be in motion while remaining still.
