Do you have any well-established non-biased historical sources that back this up? If so, would you please provide them.

Very silly thing to post on an unprovable, metaphysical thread. At least you did not ask for PROOF.

Actually, Teppe made some very specific historical and factual claims, specifically:

These are very specific allegations which, if true, can be easily supported with annotations from reputable sources.

You should also note the other part of my reply, specifically where I noted that:

I provided 14 reasons why I cannot support a Latter Day Saint HERE. You were unwilling and/or unable to contradict a single one. Instead, you resorted to an unsubstantiated and obviously incorrect attack on a statement of faith ... or in other words, rather than rebut facts, you attempted to change the subject. [Accordingly] I challenge you to answer the issues raised in my original response.

Each of these points come directly from LDS teachings and therefore no metaphysical reasoning is required ... either I was correctly citing Mormon theology, or I was not. If so, on any of the 14 issues, then the recommendation in the article is valid, specifically:

To Pastors: If you plan on endorsing Governor Mitt Romney for the office of President of the United States, do so by clearly and unequivocally distancing yourself and Biblical Christianity from his Mormon beliefs.

I also believe that my personal belief is still valid, that [no] true Christian anywhere would ever contemplate supporting any candidate for any public office that espouses such horrible heretical and blasphemous doctrines -- be they Muslim, Mormon, or whatever.

Finally, the Conclusion reached in the post you addressed still stands, namely: I challenge you to substantiate your assertions with evidence. Furthermore, I challenge you to answer the issues raised in my original response. And finally, I challenge you to do the latter before you embark on another wild goose chase.
