An atheist acknowledges no God or gods. Atheism is stronger than agnosticism, which is the view that we have no knowledge either way. An agnostic denies both that we know that God, or gods, exist, and that we know that they do not. An atheist may disagree with this, claiming even to know that no God exists, for example through having a disproof of such existence. But many, or even most, atheists would agree with the agnostic that this is an area where knowledge is not to be had. However, an agnostic could hold that while we lack knowledge, our best bet is that some kind of God exists, so we should fill the gap by trust or faith in the existence of some kind of divinity. An atheist will reject any such leap of faith as well. An atheist holds that the most reasonable attitude is not to believe in any God or gods.

So basically an atheist is more sure that there isn't a God and an agnostic is the one who isn't sure one way or t'other.

But getting back to aliens and ghosts. I believe in both. I think it's quite arrogant of us human beings to think we are the only ones in existence. I don't want to see ghosts. I find the prospect scary but we certainly had a weird thing last year in a B&B we stayed in for a couple of nights. I took a photo because the place was so grim and when we looked later there was a starnge glow on my daughter's bed. spooky.

I can't wait for May 14th - after that date I'll be able to watch scary films because I'l have someone to curl up with. I daren't watch them and then go to bed on my own.
