Angel,

He asked the question out of sincerity; it wasn't blasphemy.  Besides there is a simpler answer without going into trying to explain the Trinity.  I know because in my first semester of Bible College in 1970, I asked the same basic question and I have been born again since age five.

  There is only a single God.  Manifesting himself in the three persons of the divine trinity.  Which is one of the divine mysteries.  Being such, can not be explained.  Either one worships that God, or he doesn't.  If he chooses to worship another God, he must decide to be a person of another religion.  If one reads the first three chapters of Genesis, he will discover the sovereignty of God, and should he read further, it can be read those in Sodom did whatever was right in their own eyes.  Which was why they were destroyed.  Job asked a similar question, and that book is said to be older than the writing of genesis.  God, intimated in that book he was impertinent to even ask God's reasoning about things.  When God asked Job where he was when God founded the earth.  So, I don't understand the point to the question.

    He has been struggling in his life for many years and especially as an adult.  He asked the question because he does not want to be wrong about whom he worships as God.  Let's see if anyone else wants to chime in rather than using a jack hammer.  It is a perfectly legitimate theological question.  Pat, believe it or not, He made us because he wants us.  He wants us because He needs us.  So you are right about that but few Christians will agree with that position.
