I don't think that we will always have questions, but on this topic, the subject is about the nature of an object and whether it is dependent on something else for it's existence. For a necessary being, I think the only answer to why, it is it's nature to be so. Why is a square not round, or why doesn't 2+2=5?
I do think in most of my conversations though, even those who deny that which is necessary (in this regard), normally smuggle it in somewhere else, even if they don't realize it.
