Machine translators do not seem to be very accurate. I am wondering how many people use this site through a translator? Do you know how to read and write English, or are you using a machine translator?
Something to do with performing experimentation without isolating variables. Correlation and causation? Lumping people together in groups? Even having an idea of someone or something in your head? What am I on about?The equivalent of an equal sign( = ) in mathematics through the English language happens to be "is" and its many variances. So when you say, "This is something", what are you really saying? When you say, "You are something" what are you really saying? When you say, "They are that", what are you really saying? When you name things, what are you really saying?Even being aware of the identity fallacy is something that can drastically alter the reality that one experiences and perceives. It is not widely known, and higher education is very selective on who is informed of it, because it is the type of knowledge that undermines a great deal of indoctrination and education.What do you know about the identity fallacy, and what do you think about it?

My argument is "The Supreme and Ultimate Reality". I want to make it clear that I have nothing to do with my argument. I am simply framing the debate, and pointing to the one who is making the case.Dermot claims that "the supreme and ultimate reality" is an argument that commits a bare assertion fallacy"In philosophical terms, your argument commits a “bare assertion fallacy” i.e. the argument is assumed to be true merely because it says it is true, and it offers no supportive premise other than qualities inherent in the original statement it purports to prove. After all, the same ontological argument could be used to prove the existence of any perfect thing at all."To make this clear, Dermot is claiming that the supreme and ultimate reality.... Not me... Not anything I'm saying... but THE SUPREME AND ULTIMATE REALITY is a bare assertion fallacy.
Merriam-Webster defines "God" as "The supreme and/or ultimate reality".When someone makes the claim that there is no "God", they are literally saying, "There is no ultimate reality".Ultimately, behind all the deception, this is what the God debate is truly about. People may claim all sorts of things about ultimate reality, and there are many different faiths that say different things about the ultimate reality. However, this is not a debate about doctrine. This is not a debate about whether or not this is an acceptable definition of the word "God". It is simply a debate about whether or not there is in fact an ultimate reality, knowable or not.This is the God that I believe in. This is the God that I acknowledge. Whether or not you consider this God, do you or do you not believe in the existence of ultimate reality or not? Why?
Merriam-Webster defines "God" with a capital "G" as "The supreme and/or ultimate reality". Is it intellectually defensible to deny the existence of supreme and/or ultimate reality?
