As enchanting as epiphanies are, I won't base my fate on one, and also, Mr. X is an engineer, so who better then to build me a bridge. Now for the sake of broadening my thinking I will add this, considering the title of this experiment and the possibility that this whole thing is a metaphor, it would make more sense that I as a Muslim (or any person who believes in a God, or a supernatural being) would pick Mr. Y. This whole idea of someone building a bridge out of nothing but a vision or belief could be related to the belief in God, though there is no "proof" that he exists, some base their whole life on his presence. Also the fact that the bridge would save you from a (crocodile-infested) river of blasphemy does help my case. So yeah just thought I'd share my thoughts with you. I maybe completely, but it was worth a try. Looking forward to your follow-up video. peace Well in short, my answer to your video is that I would trust Mr. X’s bridge more so than Mr. Y’s, for obvious reasons.

It's a matter of life and death and you gotta cross one bridge to get to the other side. Which one will it be? :) LOL eric… but assuming the builders won’t cross their own bridges, what will you do?

I thought this was gonna be about freedom of speech or something. Bridges? Mr x & Y? Well, first, I googled Mr. X & Y and buddy if they are the same people I wouldn't use their bridges. Second, the solution to your this conundrum is to ask the respective builders to show you that their bridges are safe by crossing them themselves first. If they truly have faith in their abilities they will take the initial risk. Third, not to be disrespectful but I got a contact buzz listening to you and now I have to go get a sammitch and watch TV.
