In circular reasoning, not only is the point assumed, it's often used as part of the argument in support of itself...there is another name for that...

Strawmen are not merely claims easily refuted, but they are mis characterizations of what someone really believes or has said. The Trinitarians believe in three gods and the bible says one, is a good example
