If a red ant, and black ant met on a hill, and each had the idea that he/she was superior and had the correct faith to support that reasoning, and they decided to fight over it, which should win?
Which is right?
Is it the strength that makes it superior, or knowledge?

Ignorance is a powerful weapon by itself. If they had the correct faith, either of them, they would not be fighting!

Generally speaking, red ants are more aggressive, but some species of black ants are huge. It depends on the species and the colony size for the most part. Other factors include humidity, temperature, and predators. There is no right and wrong in the animal world. There human concepts. Since 99.99% of ants are females, the he/she thing is unnecessary as two drones would never fight. Ants are also not into Zen! ;-)

well obviously the Righteous Red Ant would win again the evil black Ant. The Black Ants are fine as individuals but their believe system is Misguided

In such a case, the red ant is more likely to win, because red ant species tend to be far more aggressive and unlike some black ants... they usually have a posse near by.

Hard to say. Those sound like pretty smart ants. The one who believed in Jesus would be right, but the one who was bigger and or had more toxic venom would win.
The analogy makes no sense though. Good try at doin' sum thinkn' tho.

OR, truth can just be truth, even if the fight was a "draw". Truth can exist, in and of itself, which is VERY cool indeed! We get to choose it, and we could even be killed for it, and we would still "win". Knowledge and power both come in very handy indeed, but history shows both win out at various times. Something has to be constant, and that is truth. Nothing else really matters.

Try this question on the philosophy page. It would be more appropriate for there. I don't worship ants, I am a follower of Jesus the Christ. YBIC

History shows knowledge prevails over strength.

Strength is what ants have, if they had knowledge they would shoot each other.
