There are numerous problems with that.
1) Conflicting authorities telling different messages all over the place
2) Authority in the religious sense is baseless, none can demonstrate any truth on which their supposed authority is grounded.
3) It is plainly obvious that humans are very adept at fooling themselves and claiming to have found the truth when their truth conflicts with many other versions.
4) Caring about what is true is the basis of all real progress, and caring about truth means evaluating truth claims, which in turn means learning not to take seriously baseless assertions, which leaves religion without foundation.
In order to blindly accept authority you have to leave your critical thinking faculties behind, which leaves you open to any and all bullshit salespeople, of which there is an almost unlimited number. How happy this makes you is irrelevant in terms of truth evaluation since is it clearly demonstrated by conflicting cults that you can be just as happy believing any number of mutually exclusive concepts.

And yet here you are, making claims and providing nothing to back them up. The burden of proof is on you to support what you claim.
Until you can do provide some evidence, no rational person should give two shits for what you're claiming,
