    Plural of those who subscribe to a [humanitarian] philosophy. [Humanitarians] feel sorry for certain people, and find pleasure and a sense of significance in taking care of them. Some [humanitarians] use private, [voluntary] means to help others while other humanitarians prefer to use the State to force the general public to fund their efforts.
    Humanitarians tend to view humans as innately good and kind. They want to facilitate whatever each person wants to do, no matter what it may be. They enjoy a sense of paternalism as they provide for and protect their wards. This tendency might be appropriate at times but can easily drift into a subtle form of control and dominance.
    Humanitarians cannot believe that people are naturally selfish and sadistic. They tend to hold a pollyannish view of criminals and attempt to [mitigate] their punishment. They hate to see anyone suffer pain under any circumstances.
    Humanitarians have a hard time concentrating their affection on a limited set of people, such as their family or their community. They seem emotionally [restless] and [transient]. They continually seek out new people to befriend and help without ever [settling] into a committed, intimate relationship with any one person or group in particular.
    Utilitarians, followers of the Social [Gospel], collectivists, and the political left each find their roots in humanitarianism. The origin of humanitarianism is likely to be found in a certain reading of the Bible and understanding of Christianity that emphasizes [unilateral] forgiveness, charity, and the brotherhood of all humans. Such a view tends not to be balanced by a clear understanding of human depravity, and the fact that [Eden] will not be restored on the Earth until Jesus returns and creates a new Earth with spiritually regenerated people.
