Reality/Falsehood is the question on whether something is true or untrue. In my opinion, there's only one reality but many perceptions of reality, which might or might not be true.

Just as the five blind men think that they know what the Elephant is by touching it. We know that their versions are not true because we know better than them.

But we ourselves do not know whether we know the elephant fully because we cannot see from a "higher perspective" (our minds can normally only comprehend up to 3D).

Correct me, if I'm wrong, but this is my understanding of reality, as of this moment.

Is partial truth, true or false? If I tell a partial truth in court, what would they say about my statement? If found out, would they say I testified the partial truth? Or would they say I lied?

What you say, I do not doubt. I was using that example assuming that I give the partial truth on purpose, for the reason of shading the truth.

But reality is not only limited to what we know or what we can perceive, right? That would be a personal perception of reality. Reality stays the same whether or not we can perceive or understand it.

I agree with you that sometimes (or maybe always, I admit I do not know the frequency of validity. But I know it is valid) we are like color blind people trying to figure what the actual color of a gray dog is.

How can the thing that is not happening be reality?

Whether I perceive it is one thing and whether it really happened is another, no?

To me, reality is what actually happened.

It does not matter whether or not I know, understand, perceive etc.

What I understand is my perception of reality, not necessarily reality.

If what I understand is correct, then my perception is reality

If what I understand is wrong, then my perception is not reality

Because if He exist, God's existence is reality.

If He does not exist, God's existence is not reality.

If it didn't happen (let's say if God doesn't exist), the reality will be that He doesn't exist no matter what humans believe.

As such, in my opinion, there's only 1 reality.
