But I prefer to live with integrity and accept the consequences, if there are any. God can make me suffer, if he wishes; but he cannot make me respect a God and a system that doesn't deserve respect.

That's it, exactly. I am less afraid of being tortured after death by an invisible God than I am having to bend my mind into all sorts of unethical and dishonest contortions to avoid it.
I'd rather die as a brave woman on her feet than live as a coward on her knees to an unjust tyrant. And yes, it is just that serious to me.
