Kolo, you are right. God is a monad, simple, that is uncompound, and indivisible. There can be no other gods; there can be no "parts" to God. We perceive the one and the same God in three Hypostases. Western attempts to reduce God to reason is rationalism, to 'understand' God by logic, or implying that God is 'logical,' or to divide Him into real 'persons' (like we are) is antropomorphism at best, pagan at worst.

"We worship our God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity; neither confounding the Persons, nor dividing the substance. For there is one Person of the Father, another of the Son, and another of the Holy Ghost; but the Godhead of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost is all one, the glory equal, the majesty coeternal."
