I learned yesterday that my older sister believes she is a psychic and practices card reading with some gypsy cards. This is out of my league. I've only recently abandoned those kinds of beliefs. Seriously. I've been an atheist since 16 and I've been studying all the information behind the religious skepticism but I'm not well versed in skepticism about psychics and spirituality. I've held these foolish beliefs up until last summer. I'm out of my league and it showed when I got into a fight with resulted in me apologizing because I know I presented my arguments in a completely wrong and insulting fashion, mostly because I was thrown off balance by finding out my sister is so into this stuff.
Does anyone have any experience in talking with psychics, know the best way to confront them? Have any recommended reading? Any advice could really help. It's not like I have any plan to intervene and deconvert. But I want to be able to properly show why I'm a skeptic about this stuff and present the proper evidence.
