Why would I want to carry out the ordinances of the civil law of a three thousand year-old civilization? The Christian is commanded to love his enemies. That’s why I have this blog--because I love you guys. I care about where you will spend eternity.
I want to warn you that the above verses are the essence of the first two of the Ten Commandments. You are to have no other gods before the God who gave you life, nor are you to create a god in your own image. The god the atheist doesn't believe in, doesn’t exist. He’s a figment of his imagination. He has an erronius concept of God in his mind (something called "idolatry"), and that’s the image he believes doesn't exist.
However, the God who gave you life and breath commands that you love Him with all of your heart, mind, soul and strength. Have you kept that commandment? None of us have. We instead use His holy Name to cuss, and because of our multitude of sins His wrath "abides" on us (see John 3:36).
That harsh and merciless Law you have quoted will judge you on Judgment day, if you refuse God’s forgiveness in Christ. If you refuse mercy, you will get justice. Please don’t let that happen.
