Seemed like the next logical step. What is the criteria for a faith claim or ontological assertion being deemed "right"?

What If Everyone Is "Right"?
If everyone is right, then no one is right. Basic philosophical thought.

If everyone and everything is right, then you have nothing or no criteria to judge wrong on because no one is wrong. It's a contradiction in terms. Everyone can't be right. What is right then?? If there is no wrong we cannot know right.
Its like saying everyhting is God. If everyhting is God then nothing is God. because who is God then by definition?
Correct, there is only one straight and narrow path, God does not wver or walk crooked paths. There is only one truth and one path.
If everyone's right than what's left?

If there is no wrong we cannot know right. Also if every relgionjis right then it would contradict itself. Christ cannot claim that he is the only way to the Father and everyone else be right saying he is not. Its not logical!

But most importantly, if there must be "a criteria by which to judge wrong on" what would it be and how does one decide upon its "right"-ness?
Of course your perception of the world can be paradoxical, but all paradoxes are only in theory.
the words used are irrelevant, a naming convention must be used to distinguish the two in terms of descriptions, but the actual meaning is what counts.
I don't understand why something has to have an opposite in order to exist. Can there simply be varying degrees of being right? Can someone be more right than another without either of them being wrong?If everyone and everything is right, then you have nothing or no criteria to judge wrong on because no one is wrong.
