"Do you have anything substantial to add to this conversation. I feel like I'm on a playground in grade school."
I'm sorry you can't comprehend how a document that was the unofficial founding document for a British colony in 1619 is not a founding document for a nation formed in 1776. Perhaps the problem is that your understanding of history is still at the grade school level.
Nothing of any substance that is in the Mayflower Compact survived into the real founding documents of the USA, the Declaration and the Constitution. The Compact was a collectivist, theocratic document that almost crippled the colony before it could establish itself. None of it's concerns for Christianity survived into the Declaration or the Constitution.
The USA was not founded on the Compact. Not even close.

Ahhh, the inevitable personal attacks which are so common on these threads. Please feel free to disagree with me, however, I must request that you not ping me again.
