Popeman update ideas

The words used to describe the far right could be used to describe my main character. Maybe I can go down that route.

The event's that take place here could lead to a rise in these gangs. That could lead into the second chapter of this epic tale.

I could mention riot's in passing. He's against the Muslims, so having the background of their 'taking over the country ' could work.

Maybe Jesus could be one of the rioters, who lost his job and ended up homeless. It would add to his paranoia, but why would he go to the mosque in the first place? Maybe he can't read. The person who gives him his gown could be another homeless. It's not until he reaches the main hall that he sees real Muslims and flips. I think this could work. I'll add this tomorrow.

Currently they come to the conclusion that the homeless will explode and destroy the city out of nowhere. I think having an explosion happen and that being the catalyst for how they find out what's really happening would be more effective. This could be a news story. It could be an electronic device exploding. Maybe an old TV/computer. A computer would work, they could be searching for an explanation and getting nowhere. And since the PC is full of viruses it eventually overheats and explodes and then time stops, suicide bombers flash Infront of their eyes and they all come to the same conclusion.

Ironically it could have a happy ending. Seeing the evil that happened on Christmas, could lead to individuals doing more to help the homeless. I like this idea, it's comical.

I dislike stories were characters remain the same from begining to end. Surely the events help mold them into someone new. How do my characters change throughout the story?

John Paul - Hates the homeless, likes muslims, switch, pittys the homeless, hates muslims. His sense of reality get's more and more warped until a mass slaughter sounds like the right thing to do.

Jesus - A homeless man to God, As time goes on his word becomes gospel. He goes from taking the piss, to truly beleving he is Jesus and sacraficing his life as a result.

Francis - A highly intelegent kid becomes just as deluded as the other two. Scared/shy to becoming coragous and running into the face of battle.
