They're not necessary in the sense that they're needed to cause something, just like they're not beings in the sense of a human being. Nor are they necessary in the sense that your parents are necessary. Nor are they necessary in the sense of propositional necessity. These are all separate technical uses of the same term....which is why it;s easy to conflate them, and to equivocate upon them.
A necessary being is not a synonym for a person like entity that's necessary for some other thing to exist....no matter how many times god botherers use it that way. No matter how many times their wishful faiths compell them to -read- it that way.
A necessary being is simply some x that cannot not exist. There is a question, though, as to why something would be as such. It's currently unanswered.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
