Well, there could be a long answer, and a short answer to that question.
Time doesnt permit me to get into the long version, so to keep it simple, I'll just go with the short one.
I don't believe in the Trinity because the doctrine is not in the Bible.

To elaborate a bit more...
the doctrine of an eternal son (an essential component of the Trinity doctrine), is not biblical. The bible teaches a begottten son, not an eternally pre-existent son.
Without an "eternally preexistent Son", the Trinity doctrine does not hold up.
The doctrine of 3 separate persons is absurd, since the Holy Spirit is not a separate person from God the Father. The Holy Spirit is the God's very divine nature itself, and the baptism of the Holy Ghost is an impartation of God's divine nature, not a separate person within the Godhead.
Without the Spirit of God (Holy Spirit) being a separate person from the Father in the Godhead, the Trinity doctrine collapses.
