"The Bible does encourage marriage but my point was that celibacy is not unscriptural."
It most certainly is unscriptural - furthermore it's called a "doctrine of devils". That's why it results in so much perversion. 1st Timothy 4:1 says:
"Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth."
