How do I tell people that I follow God and His book alone?
-
And that i refuse to follow bukhari & co. and their dogma.
some muslims can be so heinous as to call us quranists not muslims! & nope
Allah IS Watching.
sometimes muslims can be ignorant, refusing to open their eyes and change. This is NOT MY ISLAM.
i hope Allah gives me strength to go through this.

Many muslims follow not guidance but the ancestors religion. There is no base for their beliefs but the fact that that is what hey found their eople doing inherited from their older oeople and so on. What indeed the Qur'an calls the "ancestors religion". Reason or logic or revelation has nothing to do with it.
Don't enter into open battles with people that you see are not interested in finding our, and be very, very cautious with what you advance. The point and your duty is not to win anybody for any cause, only God can do that, but to give water to those thirsty and you have reasonable epectations of not being mistreated because of it. If people are not thirsty it is a waste of water. I am speaking metaphorically.
Be very cautious, and trust God. He will lead whoever He wants.

First and foremost is to lead by example, i.e. practice the principles/ethics in Quran in your life.
Second, if the opportunity arises during conversation to bring in the Quranic perspective on a topic, you can mention this. Not in a forceful way, but simply highlighting what Quran says on the subject, or asking open questions about their view, e.g. what is the evidence for that view?
Please remember that the vast majority of followers of religion (Muslims, Christians, Jews etc) are not well informed about their own faith, and most will get emotional/clouded in their thinking when their views are challenged. Tread carefully.
