You worship a lie.
Obviously, the real way to escape God’s judgment is to live a dutiful life, to find your Fate and fulfill it, so that on the day of your death you can escape the world and join your ancestors. Duh. Any kid on their nameday knows that. 
So, if you found 100% proof that God is real, without a shadow of a doubt, you would reject Him? Why would you willingly choose to destroy your own eternity like that? Does that not strike you as foolish? God loves you, He gave you life, He gave you everything. And still, like a spoiled child, you would push your creator away? Truly, I couldn’t even begin to speculate on your reasoning here.
You have a choice between unbelievable happiness and desolation. One is clearly better than the other.
Given that the universe is already resplendent with evidence that your God is evil, then yes. It would be my absolute moral and ethical duty to reject and deny them. What selfishness would drive you to subservience to such horror, I wonder?
You’ve suffered in life, so you’ll suffer a thousand times worse in death? Why? To prove a point? To stay on your moral high horse during an eternity of misery?
I genuinely don’t understand.
You call God evil, so correct me if I’m wrong about this assumption: You believe that since God created the world, and suffering exists, He created suffering. Therefore, evil. But God also created unimaginable beauty, happiness, and love. Surely you can’t brand Him as evil if he created both. At best, you could say that He is neither good nor bad, as there is a balance of the pain and joy that He has created. Even though that would be wrong, God is loving and wonderful.
But what exactly makes God evil?
I read essays at the University all day, some of them frankly awful, what’s one more on the pile ?
The irony is, that were Mizhara to find 100% incontrovertible evidence to show God exists, and still reject them, then it might actually result in God ‘saving’ Mizhara’s eternal soul, because it might appeal to God’s incomprehensible sense of humour.
Consider a crude metaphor. Ants.
Imagine an ant, that was somehow able to communicate with you, and that was able to perceive you as a being of (to them) incomprehensible power. And the ant says to you “I refuse to live by your rules. I defy you ! I deny you agency !”.
Wouldn’t you be both impressed and amused by this ant’s rude behaviour ? Wouldn’t you consider that ant to be one of the most precious ants you’ve ever known ? Would you not grieve when that ant eventually dies ? And remember them ?

When you put it like that, I would probably keep him and give him a cute name.
But still, knowingly making the decision to ruin your eternity seems like a bit of a silly move, regardless of the moral code you stand by.
Walter. God’s name is Walter.
“FC, please tell me the cover fleet is up.”
Way to compound one foolishness with another.

Well-- let’s say for a moment that God was not your God, my lady, but Nauplius’s: an intemperate god of wrath and hatred who despises entire bloodlines on a genetic level for supposed crimes their ancestors committed and condemns them to eternities of one degree or another of misery and suffering just for having been born of that blood.
In other words, a deified Nauplius.
If that were what God was like, certainly, self-preservation and fear might demand submission, but is defiance really wrong in that case? Such a being might be the creator, sure, but taking all guidance from that starts to sound a lot like saying that if something made me I should be willing to suffer anything that being might demand just because without it I wouldn’t be anything at all.
If that were so, I’d sincerely rather just never have existed. That version of God wouldn’t have done me any favors by making me at all, much less any that would bind me to servitude for that reason alone.
In that case, it would certainly be worth trying to get on God’s good side. If there is anything you should work towards, it would be that. Even if there’s a slight chance of redeeming your soul through your actions in life, wouldn’t just the thought of that make it worth fighting for? God has control over everything and, regardless of your birth, you should at least try your best not to actively deny yourself any chance of earning his favour.
No. You do.

I know the truth, and you will too some day. Just make sure that day is before your death, for your own sake.
No, you don’t. You were sold a lie. A counterfeit. And how would you know a counterfeit from the real deal, if you’ve never seen the real deal.
Turn away from your false god. Come with me, and allow me to show you the real deal. A real relationship with a real god.

Respectfully, my lady, to me that means bending my knee to something appalling out of nothing but fear-- no love, no duty, no respect even, just fear. Even an eternity of bliss would be torment, I think, at such a cost and especially spent in the company of such a being.
Even without actual torture I’d be basically a cowardice spirit. And I’d know it. And it’d hurt. Forever.
Ah yes, let me just disregard everything I’ve known in exchange for a putrid lie and a meatball who insists on calling me horrible names every time we speak.
Please.
My God is very real, and he loves me.
Ah yes, let me just disregard everything I’ve known in exchange for a putrid lie and a nut who insists on telling me that slavery is fine every time we speak.
My god is very real, and he made me strong.
I’m not a nut! Stop calling me crazy, it’s not true and it really gets on my nerves.
How can you prove to me that God isn’t real? You can’t.
Embrace Cold Wind, and you’ll be absolved of all nuttiness .
There is no nuttyness. Embrace God and your eternity will be beautiful!
