What would happen if I don't accept being guided by this god?

Then you need to find your way on your own.
The defnition of "god" as an angry man in the clouds is pretty absurd.
is it more or less guaranteed that you will have a bad outcome if you act exactly opposed to the guidance?
if so, who set up the rules of the universe which prescribed that your bad ourcome results from breaking the guidance?
- the pursuit for individual and social well being imho is intrinsic for us as a species
- you cannot break physical laws
- if you try to live against human nature as a social being it probably have a bad outcome, e.g. if you murder or steal it might have a backlash sooner or later
- religious rules were usually developed for thousands of years, and would not have survived that long if they had not at least a little benefit for most, individually and/or socially.
Many are outdated, though following some routines as a structure or frame of living seems to keep a human being happy
statistically, religious people are in average happier than non religious people.
I personally think that daily routines and basic rules comply with or even are a necessity for the human nature as a social being.
Imagin a world without gravity or without fix points for orientation. people need to live and die for something
Nihilist do not.
I can also accept, that life just is. And I can find all orientation within happines and helping others and myself acchieving it.
orientation is the key word in your post
I've lived both ways. Have you? Most of the religious people I meet are overwhelmed with constant anger that others don't live the way they want them to.
