You bloody little coward, considering the way you worded your last question (something similar to this one), I hope she chooses Christianity (and this from a confirmed Happy Pagan Person). Either you or Christianity...sounds like a control freak to me; and in your last question you mentioned smacking her. I hope you really didn't hit her and if you did I hope she calls the police and you end up butt first in jail. Shame on you. Creatures like you give the rest of us a very bad name.

What about the reverse, if she gave you the ultimatum of choosing atheism or her? Where would you be then. At that point, you both have allowed religion to divide your relationship.
Maybe in the past, she has been very demanding of you in regards to your beliefs. Perhaps she should accept your non-belief and be willing to accept you as you are. That goes both ways, as bother and sister, you should look for common ground to maintain the relationship. No matter how stupid you think her beliefs are, confrontations like you are asking about just strengthen the resolve of both parties involved.

I have no idea what she is going to do, but I must say that a brother who gives any ultimatums to his sister is a snot.
Why does she need to make a choice? She cannot have her beliefs and still love you? If she can't then she isn't much of a Christian.

I really think that you went about this wrong. I know your concern for your sisters soul, but you should have told her about the plan of salvation and if she didn't say OK (no one can force religion on someone unless they are ready to accept the teachings) then you should still love her and pray that she will in time turn around. With the ultimatum you may never get that chance.

What about you? You give your sister an ultimatum with out thinking about what she needs in her life just to get by. If she believes in something that you don't, and she's not forcing you in anyway to believe in what she believes, then why do you feel threatened by this? Your sister loves you, and I believe you love your sister, but if you cared for your sister you would leave her be, and support her no matter what. She may need this from you.
May God Bless:)

It isn't fair for you to stand in the way of someone's salvation.
Your sister may be your blood relative, but Jesus clearly states that it is the spiritual family that is greater than that of family...
She cannot nor should go back on her faith for anyone. It is her choice to make to seek God, and your stance probably will only make hers stronger.
Christianity isn't a fad, it's a lifestyle change, a daily walk with study and prayer and a daily reminder to set your life on the hands of God. To allow Him to lead, not to listen and abide by family members ultimatums. Her mind's made up and Jesus is the only way...

You should be more concerned about what you are going to do. Christ never forced or gave ultimatums to follow him...thus the "Free Will". You are in the wrong and should go back and talk with her and apologize. Remember you will stand alone at judgment.....she has nothing to do with that.

That is a despicable thing for you to do, to make your own kin choose between blood and spirit.
I think you overestimate your importance.
Don't get me wrong - I would be perfectly happy if the rapture happened tonight and all Christians disappeared for good - but I hope she chooses faith over any relationship with a jerk like you.

Dump the one that gives ultimatums they have no right to make.

I don't know what she will pick but do you really want to put your relationship with your sister on the line like that? Why not let her believe what she wants and always be her brother through and through? I am a Christian, but I would not forsake my siblings if they converted to another religion.
