Just like it doesn't make sense to worship Mary because Jesus cursed her.
This is the first I've heard of any Mary-cursing/damning. What is this all about?
In Mark 3:31-34 Jesus' mother and brothers thought he was possessed by demons. They even journeyed from Nazareth to Capernaum to take him away to a loony bin. Then Jesus famously scorned family ties. He refused to let his family in the house, asking instead, "Who are my mother and my brothers?" Then, pointing to his followers, he exclaimed, "Here are my mother and my brothers!"

But the trinity is mentioned in Matthew 28:19 (NOG) = "So wherever you go, make disciples of all nations: Baptize them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."

John 14:26 (NKJV) = 26 "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you."

Is being baptized in the name of Yeshua good enough or do you need something more?
Acts 8:15-17 (NOG) = "15 Peter and John went to Samaria and prayed that the Samaritans would receive the Holy Spirit. 16 (Before this the Holy Spirit had not come to any of the Samaritans. They had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Yeshua.) 17 Then Peter and John placed their hands on them, and the Samaritans received the Holy Spirit."
I meant they don't call it Trinity.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
