to convert people. Would it be a sin to use this power?

I think I'm traumatized by the idea

I think telepathic just means you can read people's minds, not implant thoughts in their minds.
If I had telepathic abilities, you can bet I would be taking a trip to Vegas.

Impossible ... "Free Will" is God's first gift.
God has the power to make us mindlessly love him. It would result in the same as if I could wave a wand and make Paul Walker (dreamy Movie Star) love me. There wouldn't be any satisfaction in the "Intimacy" of companionship. Even pets (dogs & cats) express their 'Free Will' to love us ... I guess it would be most similar to me programing an avatar and making it say what I want it to say ... sure fun for a little while, but in the long run, very lonly.

Yes, a sin against the principles of freedom of choice, freedom of belief.
Generally a nasty thing to do.
And certainly (to my knowledge of the christian dogma) a bad thing in the eyes of God.

No. There is no sin. Anyway, you should voluntarily join the FSM. It is just better that way.

Yes, because it diminishes the glory of Allah (SWT) to have someone forced to worship instead of using free will to willfully worship.
