A man crossing the desert finds a water pump. Below he sees a small container of dirty water, hot from the sun, with dead bugs floating in it. A sign says that in order for the pump to work, you must pour the water from the container down into the pump. Once you do, you can pump all the fresh, clean, cool water you want. The man looks at the small container of dirty water, and he considers drinking it. This is our view of faith.
