Native Son 4/8/09

Quote: "Bigger felt that if the preacher kept asking he would leap up and strike him. How could he believe in that which he had killed?" (287)

Significance:

Again, Bigger seems to have logic, but no foundation for him. He has not yet explained how God would have anything to do with anything. Of course, it's reasonable for one to think they've killed God through killing another, but only if they believed in God, which Bigger does not. I'm not sure I get this passage.

Question: What did Bigger mean, exactly?
