Why do people believe what they believe? You have to ask them.
But I will tell you that William Lane Craig isn't the ultimate source for such things as he is pretty fringe. Find yourself a nice middle of the road Christian to explain why they believe what they believe with regard to the trinity.
Thanks for the answer. I am not really looking for personal reasons to believe in Trinity, but for real objective justifications of this idea. This is why I prefer atheist forums, at least I won't get lengthy quotes from the Bible as answers. Besides, I thought that the "Christianity" subforum is visited by actual christians but apparently this isn't the case.
I recently found a video of some christian apologist named Matt Slick purportedly destroying Matt Dillahunty, I am not sure if anyone here knows the former and can advise me to read more about his defenses of christian doctrine.

Thus it's just one theist bickering over another's doctrine. So no it's your statement that's misplaced I'm afraid. As for the rest of your Innane babble, it's just that.... babble.
If you say so. Just chill.

Since I find the overall concepts presented to me of 'Dietys' as similarly contradictory in the logic department.
So on that level we kind of agree.
Well, I am not sure how exactly do you perceive monotheism or why do you think it is contradictory. Islam and Judaism are both monotheisms. My take on Judaism is the absence of hell. If there is no physical punishment inflicted on the likes of Hitler. Then clearly, either the deity isn't just/unexistent or judaism is false.
