Well of course something could be "true" for some, and "false" for others. If everything was "true" for everyone then we would all be the same person. I don't know about you, but im definately unique in my own way. I know for a fact that not everyone has the same beliefs, likes or dislikes. If that were the case we wouldn't have wars or poverty. We all would truly be equal to one another....
and how much fun would that be??

Only in very carefully designated circumstances.
The world is not a disc for flat-earth believers and spheroidal for round-earth ones.
The WMD's are not there for those who believe in them and not there for those who don't. One view OR the other has basically to be true.
All sorts of things can be *believed* to be true or false, of course, but genuinely diametrically opposite views cannot be be held together.
The exception, and this is where "carefully designated" comes in, occurs when the views are not completely incompatible, but only have the appearance of being so.
For a R&S example, I would say it appears impossible to reconcile the Jesus of Christianity (divine, died on the cross) with the the Jesus of the Qur'an (Neither divine nor crucified) He was either one, or the other (or neither). He could not be both.

If it is a matter of opinion, yes (the prettiest color; the best professional baseball player). If it is a matter of fact, no (the first president of the United States, the sum of 10 and 14).

Only on the level of duality - in which case those trues are not the Truth.

It depends on what you are talking about. In some circumstances the answer is yes, but in others no. The is always a constant though.

If you see a rope in the dark, you may take it as snake, what you are thinking is false. But the snake and the rope exist.

Consider a map of the US. St Louis is East of San Francisco, but West of New York.
San Franciscoans say "go East to get to St Louis"
New Yorkers say "Go West to get to St Louis".
Church Christians say "Jesus' blood sacrifice will get you to Heaven."
Self read Christians say "Jesus' wisdom and instructions will get you to Heaven.
Both have different roads that lead to the same place.
Let no one say "I don't believe in Jesus because even the Christians disagree on how to get to Heaven."
Both sides agree to this:
Jesus said, "If you do not forgive others, then, your father in Heaven will not forgive you"

It depends on what that something is and who the people are and what people believe.
