And so is LUST in the first place. I mean, why don't people put in some extra effort to break away from religious constraints before it's too late?
According to Christianity, for example, mere sexual desire = actual fucking, anger = killing. And that the solution is to pray to God to give you the Holy Spirit to help you alleviate such 'sinful' inclinations.
So why are we born with those feelings in the first place? Would a person who successfully managed to couple up with someone they desired by employing good social skills and the dos and don'ts of seduction that out of a desire to hook up with someone of their preference they had to learn about, or a high performing athlete who taught themselves to channel their anger into a sport activity be equated to someone mocking the Holy Spirit, and therefore mocking God himself?
If you're going to pretend you know something about Christianity, maybe you should actually learn something about Christianity. Lust is a venial sin, while premarital sex and masturbation are mortal sins. There's an extreme difference between the two. To be angry at someone isn't a sin at all, while murder is a mortal sin. To let your anger control you is a sin, while controlling your anger is not a sin. We are born with those feelings because Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. To not call upon the Holy Spirit to help you through things is not to mock the Holy Spirit. To mock the Holy Spirit is to mock the Holy Spirit.
Was your comment written with an utter disregard of what Jesus Christ's teachings were about, or just a deep-seated urge to one up someone who questions the legitimacy of religion citing examples from Christianity?
It was not written with a disregard of Jesus's teachings. It doesn't go against any of Jesus's teachings. What it does, though, is comply with the church's teachings.
That's the point of the question, it is something that makes me feel bad about myself and i can't accept it so i was asking if it is normal and ok or sick and weird?
Am i awful ?

What type of religion is that disallows sex but allows masturbation? Whatever it is, they should pick a side.

It doesn't allow maturation but having sex without marriage is a much greater sin

Masturbation is still a sin. Just because there's something worse doesn't make your behavior acceptable.

That's Catholicism, not Christianity.
Just trying being a pedant, like you suggested :)
In terms of Christianity, that other guy was right, FYI.

That's according to the protestants. The protestants are barely Christians, if they are at all.

You acted like being aroused by the idea of having sex with a sleeping person is a worse sin, when it's not even a sin.

Well, I've answered your question. It's not normal, but it's morally okay.
