Well yeah it is hard for a person like you that lives in his parent's basement and every other week registers here with different names, but for people with lives it is easily understandable why altruism exist. They just look at their friends, because to have a friend you have to do a good deed to him/her and expect to be repaid someday. People that just want to take from other people can't have friends. You can not expect to be friend with somebody if they call you up and ask you to help them movie and you tell them "Fuck you. I would rather play videogames."
So in short people do altruistic things because they expect other people to do the same. Sometimes people are more altruistic toward other people, like give them organs, because they are connected by genes. This is something that Dawkins wrote in "Selfish Gene"
These are signs not of a pure, God-given altruism, but of a form of cooperation that would evolve in small bands of human ancestors when they had to hunt together and live together defending from animals and such.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
