Factually speaking, all of our gods are contingent beings...they depend on us for their existence. That's not a satisfying conclusion to believers, though, because the idea of a necessary being has never been anything other than a euphemism for gods. A way to assert a rule of contingency..and then immediately propose some entity that circumvents it. It's not just plugging a gap..it's punching the hole -then- plugging the gap, lol. No more or less than a rationalization meant to defend the idea that there is nothing "greater" than god - and this..for no reason other than to assert it's authority. As if an existent gods authority would come from it's having a fatter ass than the universe in the first place.
-but that;s going all the way down this silly little rabbit hole, lol.
