No, it is every bit my right to tell people how to reason because they reason wrong. Everyone uses arguments from authority to reason. When you learn a language, you expose yourself to others ethics and philosophy and others minds and you don't check every single thing, and as soon as you check things, you are begin to depend on other authorities. In fact, the people that wrote those books cited many other authors to support their claims which they did not verify to the same degree that the authors did.
It is not an issue of whether I am reasoning wrong or right, it is the fact that people are relying on others views and perspectives that contain unproven information, and that unproven information is an argument from authority. Atheists are dishonest the way that they apply the label "fallacy" to something that is not categorically fallacious, it is only fallacious if it is applied wrong.
I am not asking people there opinion, I am educating you. You are wrong, if you think that the argument from authority is categorically wrong. There has never been a book in history and never will be a book that was written where every single aspect of every idea relied exclusively on content that the author verified completely to the degree that he received it. Maybe a book of math proofs or something like that, but aside from that, nothing.
Learning is a collaborative process. If people can't recognize that, they shouldn't talk like they are intellectuals. They don't know anything.
If you are uneducated enough to think that the argument from authority is categorically a fallacy, do yourself a favor. You don't even have to read a real book on logic or actually work hard to understand this. Just do this:

argument from authority fallacy
Type it in. Read some of the entries. Actually learn what you are talking about. Most of you don't have a clue, and you are leading others to accept nihilistic ethics based on false ideas. So yes, I am pissed, and it is not just my opinion.
