Criminal minds can not conceive of the state of mind of decent people:
    According to criminal minds, the state of mind of decent people
          - a state of mind which is loving and caring that feels
            great compassion and responsibility for life -
   "does not exist in the universe."

Instead, criminal minds have an almost completely hidden, secret,
    searing, burning hate for anyone, including for themselves, but
          especially and most of all, and disregarding all their
          pretenses to the contrary, they intensely hate the very
          truly loving and very truly caring and the very truly
          decent,
                as several Apostles have born witness of, and which
                is commonly remembered every year at the Easter
                holidays.*

Criminal minds all are so very standard in their tricks and actions,
that, once you know  that they exist
and once you have studied their patterns, and faced them, and under-
stood the source from which their patterns of action spring,
    their basic intention - to hurt your life and that of others as
    cleverly as they can, not unlike a virus or parasite does, with
    the very big difference that they once were normal beings** -
they become very predictable and capable of being handled, or at
least they become understandable.

Are you trying to imply that skeptics and critics are "criminal"? 

That implication is both untrue and insulting, but it is typical of 
the shallow self-centered viewpoint of some new-agers. 

Skeptics don't believe because there is no reliable evidence. 
Skeptics are aware of how easily people can be deceived, and how
people can deceive themselves when they really want to believe
something. In short, skeptics are seeking the real truth, no matter
how dull it might be.
