It can be a scary train of thought. However, if you believe in eternal consequences to actions as I do, this life is not all that should be considered.

It's not murder. If one puts themselves under the law, they are subject to it. If they are convicted under it, it is their own doing and as the Bible says, 'Their blood is own their own heads' (paraphrased that).
no one puts themselves under the law (it would be useless if you could opt out of following the law).
and yes it is murder "thou shall not suffer a witch to live" is basicly a call to action for people to kill witches

Since when have Christians presented contracts that asked people if they wanted to be under Christian law?
Since NEVER.
How many people here live in a country?
How many people here live in a country with laws?
How many people here agree that breaking these laws has negative consequences?
How many people here agree that it would be senseless to suspend the negative consequences of breaking any laws simply because a person didn't like certain laws? Wanted to "opt out" of certain laws? Didn't agree with certain laws?
How many people here were presented contracts asking if they wanted to be under the law?
How many people here were consulted when making the laws?
How many people here know they are held under the law despite any disagreements with it?

Yeah, since you and everyone else have done an undenaible job of demonstrating that, just like every other religion.
More people are against you, than with you.
And you still can't actually answer the question.

I would not agree; see slavery laws, segregation laws, antimiscegenation laws, etc.
