Why don't people believe

Why don't people believe in ghosts or aliens?

RESPONSE:

People don't believe in ghosts because they can't see them. People who can see them find it easy to believe. Of course, some people believe even if they can't see them. It does strike me as odd that people will happily believe in God, without seeing him or having proof and yet they can't believe in ghosts.

Truth is I think they can't believe simply because they are too afraid to believe. First, it is off the standard belief system - and to believe in ghosts means you must step out from the standard belief system and be an individual and believe something that isn't "normal." Oddly, throughout time the belief in ghosts has been with us...and back years ago you were odd not to believe in ghosts. How times change.
As for Aliens - people don't believe because there is not enough proof to establish their existence. Are they real? I don't know for sure...I can only go by what I think - and I think they are. But one never knows for sure.
