Do you think a god will forgive you?

I don't think God has ever held anything against me. So God's forgiveness is not an issue. The question is, can I forgive myself, others, and will others forgive me?

I believe some people have an evil conscience.
I believe that conscience is neither good nor bad, it is just conscience (inner knowing of the truth, and capable to discriminate between Dharmic and Adharmic actions)

Some people don't lister to their conscience, and some go against it even

Hence they commit evil actions

But still their conscience is not evil

I believe justice requires God to punish sins. That is why forgiveness must erase my sins so there is nothing to punish.
But why should any God forgive your sins if justice truly demands that they be punished?
In my opinion.

You are assuming god exists without one sceric of evidence. It's arrogant for you to think what he might think.

Evidence doesn't apply to metaphysics in the end. So for those religious people who don't claim truth, proof and/or evidence as per the everyday world, that is not relevant.
For God I use faith and thus your standard doesn't apply.

Faith is defined as believing with no evidence. You can have all the faith you want but it will never prove god exists.
You wouldn't buy the notion of garden fairies or unicorns but happy to believe in something equally as stupid.
I believe my standard is far more believable than your delusion.

Yeah, "I believe...". I believe differently.
The problem ends up in philosophy as for the limit of epistemology or if evidence as a methodology can answer everything with a positive result. Since it appears you have claimed the latter, so if that is the case, you have to show that evidence is universal

I don't have to show anything. From when the first god was invented by idiots, the claim of a god was there's without any evidence at all.
Atheism allows no shackles to prove anything.
If you made the claim, you prove it. I know you can't.

Evidence that they are idiots.
