They do get a benefit, even if not directly. Helping people makes other people feel good, see http://healthland.time.com/2013/10/23/th...y-we-give/

Sounds like an argument from ignorance, "if you can't answer this question that I posed, it must be God doing it". Must better to actually try and find an answer to the question, and if you can't find one with evidence backing it say "I don't know"!
