Any argument for a necessary being comes down to this: presume an ontological truth you cannot defend (ex: the Principle of Sufficient Reason) and beg the question as a result of that. After all, if the PSR is an ontological truth, then there must be a reason that the PSR is true, and a reason for the reason that the PSR is true, ad infinitum. It just collapses back into the same problem any First Cause, Prime Mover or Contingency argument is supposed to "fix".
And oh, what d'you know? It just happens to be the being I happened to already believe in. Motivated reasoning? What could give you that idea?
