Idk it seems pretty clear from corinthians 7 that celibacy is the preferable option . Verse 9 even seems like celibacy should be the defult and marriage is only given for us who cannot control lust
I hate organized religion but i love God :-)

That's exactly how it is, although married people always get pissed at it, and the culture is basically set on marriage. Self-control is actually extremely easy, I have a feeling most people don't even try.

No, it's not. It's a stupidly misinterpreted verse, like much of 1 Corinthians that has caused much heartache over practical theology through church history.

1 Corinthians 7 basically says if you can't control your dick, get married so you don't commit fornication, but if you can control your dick, you basically have the ability to give both mind and body to God. Whereas married people have a hard time balancing the troubles of this world with duty to God, because managing a healthy family life concerns so many of the things of this world.
Additionally, in case someone use the verse "be fruitful and multiply" as to exclusively mean have sex, then I would refer them to the promise God made to Abraham when he promised that his descendants would be as numerous as the stars through faith in Jesus Christ. Similarly a Priest/Nun can spiritually adopt many people as if they were their own. It's quite beautiful really.
