Under communism, a man's conscience is sculpted by an authority so men will do right for the sake of the State. Under religion, a man's conscience is sculpted by an authority so men will do right for the sake of all. The individual has the freedom to choose the nature of his conscience. He ignores it at his peril for his conscience guides his behavior. The man who has no conscience has no guide.

Under communism, the fear of God is replaced by the fear of the State. Choose your guide well.

Christianity itself is NOT about adopting a superior stance. But Christians like non-Christians will use moral sounding arguments to manipulate others. Christianity absolutely teaches humility.
Communism is about taking the most expedient path toward domination and absolute rule over the population.

A person of Integrity needs no rules, because a person of integrity will behave better than the rules intended as minimum requirements for people with no self regulation, no strength of character, and probably no interest in the well-being of others.

As can be found in Scripture, none of us are "without sin," in other words, almost none of us succeed in operating with the kind of integrity required to operate better than the rules, and surely none of us are able to measure up to the perfection demonstrated by Jesus Christ. Most importantly of all, absolutely none of us may enter heaven on our own merits.

We must trust in Christ absolutely.

John 14:6 “Jesus said: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.””

You make some valid points and even exemplify a judgmental spirit and personal superiority starting from your first sentence.

You tell the truth when you point out that we have all transgressed. I don’t believe everybody has broken a specific law or regulation (like speeding), but there isn’t a person alive who doesn’t at one point in their life do something wrong. Laws and regulations are different in various cultures, so it is even possible to transgress without knowing you’ve done so. However, those who transgress their own standards the most are those with the highest expectations of perfection. Does that mean we should lower our expectations of ourselves? I would say the answer is a resounding “No”. Instead we should seek to hold ourselves to a high standard while remembering Grace and forgiveness (for ourselves and for others).

As a military leader, I sought to uphold and exemplify the highest standards. I failed occasionally, admitted my failure sought to make it right and continued on. I also understood that my failures were a reminder to give more Grace and forgiveness to those I led when they failed to exemplify those same standards. (Leaders should should lead by example, not push.) There were times when Justice demanded punishment (for me as well as for those I led). However, whenever possible the preferred COA would involve seeking rehabilitation and reconciliation through the least harsh of methods (including verbal corrections and encouragement or grace).

I point out my military example, because we in the military used to have very high standards and hold ourselves to those standards more so than almost any other culture. That maintenance of high standards led to a good and productive lifestyle enjoyed by the vast majority of those within the culture, but it also led, for others, to hard feelings and a sense that the culture was judgmental and too demanding. The culture was not for everybody and we couldn’t expect everybody to adapt. If they didn’t want to adapt to the stated requirements, there were ways of leaving that culture. Those outside the military profession were never expected to live by the standards within the culture. We didn’t judge them as being less worthy or sub-military, especially when they were living within their own stated cultural standards.

In short, perfection as the goal isn’t the problem. We should all seek our highest. However, it is important to understand we will never fully achieve that goal as long as we live and remain imperfect human beings. (Only one man has ever walked this earth without transgressing.) That’s why Grace and forgiveness are so important.

They should always be available to those who try to meet the standards, but failed and were honest enough to admit their failure and humble enough to seek grace and forgiveness along with Justice. Additionally, the standards are only for those who want to be a pert of the culture with those stated standards. If anybody doesn’t want to seek to live by those standards to the best of their ability, they should be allowed to leave and go where those standards are not a part of the culture, realizing the inherent problems that come about due to lower standards (like those in California under the current slackened legal standards).
