Does the Trinity prove that God is not isolated and alone, but in relation with Son and Holy Spirit?

Probably to in some ways. But the Holy Spirit is not the analog of the mother, as this simile suggests. The Spirit "proceeds from the Father and the Son" (Nicene Creed). The simile is not to sexual reproduction, but to an internal community in the mind of God. It is correct, though, that God is not isolated but in relationship, even without creating anything.

I don't believe in the Trinity. The whole concept is pre-Christian. I do not think that the Trinity proves that God is not isolate and alone at all. It proves nothing in my mind. The nuclear family is just a natural social occurance that over time worked in raising children.

We are created by God, in His image. Not from a group of apes millions of years ago. As far as a reflection of God, free will adjusts all of our lives so that we are far from the Divinity of God, but He also allows us mistakes and failures. Otherwise, there would never be a lesson learned. We have opportunity to grow from pain, hate, failure, and dissapointments. Only a Divine Creator could acknowledge this and continue to let us make the same mistakes day in and day out.

Except the Trinity isn't a parental couple and a child.
