However my analogy at the point you addressed was to god directly intervening and ordering non believers murdered.
If Jesus was god then shouldn't he have known this would be a issue and make it very clear in order to avoid problems?
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

There was not a general order to kill non-believers. Most were allowed to continue on, and sometimes god used other peoples to discipline Israel.

Not sure which issue you're referring to here - is this going back to the hate your family verse?

If they did follow their bible they'd be protesting Red Lobster and other seafood restaurants that serve shellfish. No, as the law was given to Israel, but most Christians are Gentiles.
So were the ten commandments, but yet they still largely figure into Christianity.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

If god chooses to let some live a little longer before they die, that's his right.
