Good for you Cha3 for stating your thoughts on this subject. Happiness, according to Merriam-Webster, "a state of well-being and contentment". If you find your happiness in celibacy, along with other joys of life, there is no reason for you to fear being "laughed off the forum" as you state. I'm sure that there are many singles within our community who welcome your words of wisdom. I suppose, too, that there are many singles who are quite happy traveling along a different chosen path.
His Holiness, The Dali Lama, offers "Happiness is determined more by the state of one's mind than by one's external conditions, circumstances or events". There's a lot of truth in that fun song "Don't Worry - Be Happy". So, be true to yourself Cha3. I know that your faith is your foundation.
