As a matter of fact, why don't you go test out that theory in the real world, and see how it works out.
What you're essentially saying is that non-Christians should be stoning gays and avoiding mixed fibres and making offerings of burning cow specifically because they don't follow Christ and thus have no reason to obey the Levitican/Deuteronomic laws in the first place.
Unbelievers are already under penalty of death due to sin. Sin = unbelief remember? The only way to avoid that penalty is to accept the pardon that the sacrifice of Jesus Christ provided.
There are no redemptive qualities to the law, the laws only purpose is to condemn the offender, once you're condemned it can do nothing to help you.
