'Basic Instinct' Director Claims Jesus Was Born As A Result Of Rape

"Basic Instinct" director Paul Verhoeven's new book claims that Christ probably was the son of Mary and a Roman soldier who raped her during the Jewish uprising in Galilee.

FoxNews reports that Catholic League President Bill Donohue called Verhoeven's claim "laughable."

"Here we go again with idle speculation grounded in absolutely nothing," Donohue told FOXNews.com. "He has no empirical evidence to support his claim, which is why they say 'may have.'"

Donohue continues his rant against the movie saying that Verhoeven, who is most well known the famous Sharon Stone crotch scene in "Basic Instinct" has worked on the book for 20 years only to come up with a "probably."

"He's been working 20 years trying to sell this argument and hasn't come up with anything. This won't make a dent with Christians, nor with scholars somewhat wary of the biblical account. It's a European version of Hollywood. He should go back to Sharon Stone's legs."

The book also says that Jesus 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. The Hollywood reports says that the book is being published in the Netherlands while Verhoeven finalizes discussions for an English-language version
