Dude... how am I supposed to kill these things? I went to the Nether with my bow and arrow and I killed like six of them, but they just respawned in a few seconds.
I hate walking around looking for stuff and constantly hearing BANG, BANG, BANG, knowing that if I stop, I'll get blown up.
1) Peaceful Mode
2) Build some protection around your farm points
3) Build a Ghast Arena ((Cobblestone at least for building)) complete with at least a 2 block wide hallway where you have chests filled with Fishing Rods
4) Use Fishing rods to bring ghasts to you to kill them.
You could always cover your pathways with halls and ceiling of cobblestone and make Ghast-Proof areas where other monsters spawn.
Yeah there should never be more than 1 or 2 of them at a time in the nether, the amount that spawns and the amount with which they attack you is just silly at this point, I want to explore more of my nether, but at this point I think it's just a lost cause, I don't know if its a bug, but I really hope that 4j can fix something in the next bug update that suppose to be in January.

The problem with killing them is like he said, they respawn almost immediately. As well peaceful is not fun, when you are only trying to lay on easy/normal/hard you shouldn't have to change to peaceful because of this.
I personally love it. Sometimes I just jump into the nether with just a stone pick-axe to explore with. If I need to make a path I break apart some nether blocks and make a bridge. I often get 3 ghasts at once though which to me makes the nether even more exciting. If I need to fight ghasts I attempt to bounce back their shots with my bare hands to kill them, which does work sometimes.
Sometimes I'll take a sword for pig-zombie meat or just some food incase i need to run from ghasts and I'm low on hunger.

Or go the entra mile and use Jukeboxes. They are awkwardly just as resistant....
Stay fluffy~
