Dutch-owned businesses burned, boycotted all over Bible Belt

Film director Paul Verhoeven's theory about Christ's birth:

In his upcoming biography of Jesus, "Basic Instinct" director Paul Verhoeven will make the shocking claim that Christ probably was the son of Mary and a Roman soldier who raped her during the Jewish uprising in Galilee, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

[...]

The 69-year-old Dutch-born director, who also directed "Showgirls" — starring Elizabeth Berkley in one of the most panned films of the '90s — and sci-fi action hits like "Total Recall" and "RoboCop," as well as the sci-fi bust "Starship Troopers," claims he and co-biographer Rob van Scheers have written the most realistic portrayal of Jesus ever published.

The book, which also states that Christ was not betrayed by Judas Iscariot, one of the 12 original apostles of Jesus, as the New Testament states, will be published in the Netherlands by Amsterdam-based Meulenhoff in September, according to the Reporter.

Verhoeven is in discussions for an English-language version, the show business newspaper reported.

Question: when Verhoeven appears before the Pearly Gates, will he have a harder time explaining away this book, or Hollow Man?
