“The whole idea of nuns and priests being celibate is nonsense to me.”
It wasn’t nonsense to Christ, however. That pretty much settles the matter then.
Not exactly. There is supposed documentation that Christ consorted with known prostitutes. It is "biblical", by the way.
I know people who believe Christ was married (and a polygamist). However, Christ not being married (which would have been a sin - selfishness) does not mean that we should not be married.
Also, while there were celibate marriages as early as the 4th century, priestly celibacy did not become a rule until later.
