Atheist Filmmaker Secretly Shoots Porn Inside Dutch Church

BY ANUGRAH KUMAR
Jan 15, 2017 | 8:07 PM

Dutch porn star Kim Holland and an atheist producer have apologized for a film which includes her X-rated scenes secretly shot in the confessional corner of St. Jozef's church in Holland, according to reports.

A special cleansing service was scheduled to be held Sunday at St. Jozef's in Tilburg and the building was to be sprinkled with holy water, Daily Star Sunday reported.

Holland, who reportedly received several angry emails from church members, was quoted as saying that producer Peter Visser, an atheist, "saw the church as a very ordinary place" and "completely underestimated the reaction from commenters."

She admitted, "He knows he should not have done it. We regret it very much."

disgusting. One can disagree and make ones views heard without being abusive.

This filmmaker could not have constructed a set in a studio to accomplish their goals?

While I am not a religious type, I find no reason to abuse the beliefs of others as long at they do not abuse me.

This was completely unnecessary and completely stupid on the part of the filmmaker.

His beliefs have nothing to do with the fact that he is an idiot.

I have a feeling most of the naked shenanigans happening in churches are more of a 'one way street' type of affair.

Apparently as an explanation.

and different from emphasizing it in the headline, It sounds like he makes films about atheism.

But considering that site, it is not surprising. Full of christian persecution and love of asshole preachers.

Not making excuses for what he did. That was bad all around.
