Why is it we are so slow to believe in what we don't see?

It is a well known fact that there are things beyond our perception that exist, and that those things are highly interactive with our species. Why is it, then, that there are those people that are so hesitant to believe in other beings, such as angels and demons, that live just beyond the veil of our perception? I get it that sometimes people are just jaded and calloused, but is it so hard?

Maybe they are too afraid to admit that such things exist. I know that the thought of demons scares the hell out of me (no pun intended). LOL. But I find comfort in the belief that there are good things out there (angels) to help fight the evil.

I should edit my comment to say "Maybe they are too scared to admit that such things could exist" instead of saying that they do, so that I don't start an argument with anyone who doesn't believe. I mean no offense to anyone.

I guess people just want some foundation to believe in. People demand proof becuase believing in something takes some form of commitment - that you believe it exists and it would somehow be a part of your life. It's a method of making sure that we are not making things up. Proof is like a validation or confirmation that sometimes does exists and the people who believe it can claim that it is not a figment of intimation and they are right and justified in believing into that something.
Sometimes, it is hard because it pushes people into something unknown and unsecured. Believing in something takes a lot of trust, faith and guts. A person doesn't just believe just becuase another says or demands that the other person believed that something as it is.
