Christianity was like all other religions created over time by many men and therefore you get the Trinity. Trinity was obviously not something that they planned from the start but was introduced when it came to Rome because many other religions had trinities of gods most notably Greco-Roman and Egyptian.

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"
