Because most "sins" aren't actually wrong. Being gay... bah! Exploring religions other than your own... hogwash! Using contraception... pish posh!
And the ones that are wrong, like murder, feel good because it is natural to be happy when you achieve your goal. Not that I've killed people, but I imagine that if you are like "Geez, I hate that person, I need to kill them!" and then you do, it feels like you've accomplished something. You know, until the state puts you to death...

No, you are not correct.
The 'pleasure' won't last.
Hebrews 11:25
choosing rather to endure ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin,
Numbers 32:23
"But if you will not do so, behold, you have sinned against the LORD, and be sure your sin will find you out."

It feeds the sinful nature we were born with. Those who accepted Christ and have the Spirit of God within them can overcome their evils and have true peace, which is Christ.
I once delighted in wickedness, but now I delight in my Creator. I delight in goodness. I delight in truth, honesty, and the beauty of meekness. I delight in purity and love.
Those who take pleasure in sin delight in selfishness, anger, lying, betraying, and are lovers of sensuality rather than lovers of God.

Have you ever been able to be perfect all day? No, and even if you have not done a thing wrong externally, we are wicked in our hearts and minds, unless God lives within us and it is our desire to be like Him. It is a joy to grow in insight and knowledge of all things. It is a joy to look at the world and see the beauty in every single speck. It is a joy to have an inner thankfulness for every morsel that we own, rather than treating belongings with contempt. It is a joy to look at everyone you see in the eye and know in your heart you told the truth, that you have nothing to hide. It is a joy to have true selfless love within and to be able to share it with others. It is a joy to be free of enslavement to depravity. Yes, it is a joy to be free!
Is it a bore? No, it is a narrow road. It is a great challenge, but only through Jesus can it be done. It is never dull, for we are given contentment. It is never dull, for our minds are constantly conforming to our Maker's likeness. Children of God are not like the children of the devil, for we are new creatures, living by the Spirit. We are able to walk into death and danger, persecuted and abhorred by the world, without fear and in full strength in our weakness. It is a mystery; it is a wonder.

Yes. It's because humans only got intelligence/power on this planet by sinning. Humor itself is sometimes a celebration of sin. The Christians, etc, are just idiots because they don't realize the obvious; although they are fully happy in exploiting the name of God to gain power.

I'm not sure exactly what sin you find so pleasurable.
Lying? Stealing? Murder?
Doing the "right thing" all day might actually be enjoyable...
Wouldn't it be great to live in a world where lying, and stealing, and murder didn't even exist??

Ehm, do we "really" do the right thing all day? I don't and not because it's boring, but because I find it difficult to do so. Trust me, you wouldn't mind living in a world where people did only good.

Because you, like most other people, are lazy. Doing the right thing actually takes work. I guess you just don't have it in you. Have fun with all the guilt. It's definitely heavy and like I said, you seem too lazy for such a heavy load.

sin is more pleasurable because it feeds our own lusts and entices in human nature. but you really don't get any satisfaction. human nature always wants more, but more is never enough.
no. you can be moral all day and still enjoy yourself. you don't neccessarily have to be smiling and give away money to the poor all the time, but you can still be moral, as in respecting people (it's okay to rebuke someone in private if they're going overboard) in general, and keeping in mind that "God is watching you..."

The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Sin leads to destruction
Seek ye the Lord while He may be found
call upon Him while He is near
Let the wicked forsake His way
and the unrighteous man his thoughts
