It was directed towards you, as if you read the New Testament you would know that:
1.) There is no such thing as "Unclean" food, anymore and
2.) You are no longer stoned for committing a sin.
(And, by the way, in the New Testament I believe there are two instances where stoning is mentioned. The first involved Stephen being stoned for preaching about Jesus and the second was when an adulterer was brought before Jesus.)

So, are you saying that the New Testament is more cohesive and reasonable than the old one? ...and that we should ignore the Old Testament 'cause it's obviously nonesense?

No, that's not what I'm saying.
Christian belief states that Jesus came to Earth to fulfill the Law's of Moses (The Ten Commandments and the entire book of Leviticus)-- Not to end it. Jesus typically referred to the Law's of Moses in his teachings and commanded people to abide by them, with one exception. Whereas in the past most sins resulted in death and forgiveness required a burnt sacrifice, all sins (Except for one) could be forgiven and anyone could receive salvation through Jesus. This is why people tend to focus more on the New Testament than the Old Testament.
