It is true for catholicism.
One reason of several that I´ve heard is that they must concentrate on their church rather than a family, that they should be more focused on God and their congregation than in a family.
Protestant priests , my former faith, are allowed to marry.
Are Imams allowed to marry?
That's a good question. I guess I decided at one point I could be respectful of others and be content with my life without having to answer to anyone or anything elses judgement. I am responsible for my own behavior and will treat others as I wish to be treated, but will not allow anyone to disturb my life in this exsistance.
Wow! You got me to think about it.
I don't know how marriage and raising children will conflict with serving church and God ?

i know the concept of nuns having to be married to god, but I agree with you, how does this effect men in the church?
there is nothing in the christian scritpures which says a priest should not marry, or cannot be married.
Many of the apostles of Christ were married men and marriage was something revered as a holy arrangment. The christian scriptures actually warned christians against those who would come and oppose marriage
1Timothy 4:1-3 However, the inspired utterance says definitely that in later periods of time some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to misleading inspired utterances and teachings of demons, 2 by the hypocrisy of men who speak lies, marked in their conscience as with a branding iron; 3 forbidding to marry, commanding to abstain from foods which God created
So it should be clear that christianity does not promote celibacy.
I have been watching you in 'Who's online' and I see you stay in the thread for a long time. Tell me, what make you happy? Musics, Movies or other type of entertainment that you can list?
This is because there's many type of Bible. I heard a christian have a Bible that have something that another Bible don't have. Is it true what I just heard?
Actually,there is. It's also practise by the christian priest.
I think it is against the nature of human. It's like torturing ourself. I heard a lot of news in the television about child abuse related to the christian priest.
there is?
do you have the scriptures that say priests cannot be married?
Well , for something that's not in scriptures, catholic priests have been doing it for a long time.
