How do you acquire mind-reading abilities?

So I received a message in my mail today from another user. I won't reveal who it came from--let's just say a well-known Christianity who forgot that his religion is supposed to have something to do with loving the sinner--but it contained a long hateful rant (which I responded to in private with him/her). I'm going to ignore most of it for the purposes of this post, but there was this gem,

"we all know you atheits [sic] believe in GOD!! you do! but you want to keep sining [sic]!"

I've heard that one before and it is always surprising to me, as I'm pretty sure that I'm the only one who actually knows what I think, but maybe I'm wrong. Maybe other people know what I believe in better than I do.

So, if you're confident that you know what I believe better than I do, could you tell me where you get that idea? What makes you so sure that I somehow agree with you, but ignore what I "know?" Also, if you're somehow able to tell what's in my heart of hearts, unknown even to me, how did you get the ability? Do you use it for any non-religious, practical purposes? Because every time I say that I don't believe in a god, I've always been sure that I've been very honest and very clear in my meaning.

    Mind reading seems to come with the other ability they claim,

    knowing what their god wants and means,

    although they can't all seem to agree upon what that is....

    It probably has something to do with those demons they seem to be so proud of... whispering in their ears... LOL

    @Ageless: Please learn what sarcasm is... no one 'believes' in the FSM... Ra'men...

    IMHO

    So I ran "we all know you atheits [sic] believe in GOD!! you do! but you want to keep sining [sic]!" through my mirror neurons, and they came back with: rational failure.

    As for your beliefs, if you feel strongly about them then I see no reason to change based on other people's opinions or accusations, you know?

    As for the mind reading, I'd recommend checking in at Charles' Xavier's school. maybe he can teach you a thing or two. :)

    IDK that it's possible but some are better at 'judging' a person's character. These people are usually not Xian and are very knowledgeable about the human psyche and/or very observant. But they can't read a person's mind although some people are better at it than others.

    atheists believe in a flying spaghetti ball. Atleast that's what IM catching onto. As to your question, try psychology.
