The key word is POST, the entire post carried the message, the word burn was in reference to outdated clauses that do not apply to today's world.

Throw away, update, change, ignore, sideline, these are all words to use in place of "burn."

...But what outdated/archaic clauses in texts are you referring to? (straightforward question here... I'm really curious about what you are specifically referring to)...

Thanks!

I read it originally, as ordinary English, as outdated (in his opinion) legal texts. I saw no reference to religious texts or the Bible. I also read a metaphor and not a call for any literal burning. I think your agenda shaped your reading, SW8K and you saw something that, simply, was not there in Ted's post.
