Paul champions celibacy except for those who are too weak to handle it.

Ummm..like your own parents, maybe? Come on...you forgot the /sarc tag after you said that, right? ;o)

Paul did not put a smiley after his statement. I am convinced that he thought that celibacy was a gift from God, and that everyone ought to aspire to that state. Scripture is certainly quite clear, is it not?
