Do your beliefs imply a Necessary being exists?

But personally I accept p and q, just not p -> q.

So you can't just arbitrarily say, "Oh, we know that things of type X are logically possible; therefore, we can conclude that things of type X and Y are logically possible."

Sure, but their is still many types. Blue Squares, Squares of different size, etc..

It needs to be shown only one necessary being is possible, or the argument seems to imply many necessary beings exist.
