What do believers say when you ask or tell them..

I am interested in your belief on this matter...sorta.

What I wonder is, it makes you feel good - but it's selfless? So would good come from it if it didn't make you feel good? If not, how is it selfless? Is it really altruism? Does it just make oneself feel good (I'm guessing from the placebo effect alone but let's not get into another tedious evidence and faith argument that goes on forever) - if so, where does the selfLESS part come in?

Just...just curious.
