Well, for one thing, Western culture is not -- at the moment at least -- very communally-oriented. So I think we're culturally uncomfortable with the idea of a God who is not complete seen in isolation.
One of the things I like most about the doctrine of the Trinity is the unavoidability it brings to the idea that the Godhead is fundamentally relational -- that relatedness is key to what it is to be Whole.
