The logic is plainly stupid.

The flaw to that logic is that you could flip the statement and make the opposite arguement - the New Testament at no point refers to Jesus as married is, in fact, proof that he was unmarried.

Given that the new testament is basically a collection of stories about his life and quotes by the guy, don't ya think that somewhere in there he would have at least once been quoted as saying "Like I said to my wife the other day...."?

I don't specifically recall, but I don't remember ever saying on this site that I am unmarried. Since it's not documented here, using this logic, that means I am married. News to me.

Not only is lack of evidense not evidense but it works both ways. Turn it around the other way and at no point does it say he is married so that is proof that he was unmarried? No, it doesn't work like that.

Well, no. The absence of evidence for one theory, is not proof of another.

However, it would have been extremely unusual for a thirty something male in the Judaic culture of Christ's era to be unmarried, so it seems likely that he may have been.
