The silly pig touching law and other stuff like that is the Law of Moses from the Old Testament. People hated Jesus so much because he was correcting the Law of Moses. Certain Christians forget that the Old Testament is just a record of the old law and use it to bash gays and such. Jesus told us to do unto others as we would have others do unto us...the golden rule.
Here's an example of change between the Old and New Testament.
Old Testament:
Leviticus 20:9
For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.
New Testament:
Ephesians 6:4
And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
Notice how common sense was added in the New Testament?
Jesus brought common sense to the table, but certain Christains seem to forget about it.
