What’s the deal with Peter Ruckman? Why is he so fascinating? I admit I’ve been drawn in a little bit from time to time. It’s like a wreck on the side of the highway, we just can’t help but take a look. If you don’t know who he is, be careful, curiosity may draw you in as well. WordPress has a blog stats page that let’s you know some scant information about how people access your blog. What links got them there. What searches people used to find a certain post. No matter what else may be read on this blog, EVERY SINGLE DAY someone searches for Peter Ruckman and stumbles onto a couple of posts I wrote about him. Really. Every day.
Is it the strange, almost cult like beliefs he has about the King James Bible? Is it the harsh, diminutive, really abusive tone he often uses to criticize others? No one ever leaves a comment, which always leaves me wondering if they are searching for information because they agree with him, find some commonality between themselves and him, or whether they are just curious about the sheer oddity of the man’s teaching and manner?
Sometimes the searches are hilarious. Someone will do something like go to google and type in “i hate peter ruckman,” or “peter ruckman idiot.” Sometimes it’s a little milder. Just “Peter Ruckman” or “Ruckman.” From what I’ve seen, I could really up my blog stats if I would just daily do a post about Peter Ruckman. Sooo, got to keep the rubber neckers happy. Here’s another Peter Ruckman post.

I don’t care what Peter Ruckman says about the
King James Bible because it want make me stop what I believe in.
I believe in the King James Bible and what it says. I guess I was just brought up that way. I know they
are folks that can’t understand the King James Bible.
