I wonder, who is this God they invoke, who is so petty and mean? Is God really against gun control and food stamps for poor children?” MeanChildrenArtistChoicesNamesSidesDarkPoorWonderRolesRightsSubjectsGayAuthorityGunDoctorsAbsolutesExtremesFavorsToleranceAbortionGun ControlStampsImmoralPettyControversialDark SideGay RightsInvokeDetestFood StampsPoor Children Author:Barbra Streisand
