Good post. Your take is coorect and your thoughts about the ongoing nature of
the constitution is also correct.
However, the Pilgrims did not come to America to escape English persecution.
They fled first England and then Holland because neither the English nor the
Dutch would permit the Pilgrims to persecute others. They came to America so
they could force their religious practices on those around them. They were
not alone in this. It is not for nothing that creeps like Pat Robertson
admire the religious leaders of the early colonies
