of the world would be 1843 and 1844 and after it didn't happen they decided to to create a church from his teachings? A guy predicts the end of the world 4 times and gets it wrong 4 times but somehow they think he has some inside information? I have tried many times over the years to understand religious people but I just don't get. I just end up with a headache when I try.
