No what I have done, is giving a real life example of
how the moralists, when left uncheck, become oppressive.
History is full of many such examples


History is also full of examples of people of low morality
putting other people in gas chambers, committing baby rape,
spreading deadly venereal diseases to the general
population, etc. Immoral people, when left unchecked my
friend, will lead to much worse than what you define as
"oppression."

CMU = Carnegie Mellon University. Kerberos is a software
package which is a copyright of CMU.

Yes and we have a mechanism in place to deal with people like such, they are called criminal laws. These are laws that are designed to prevent people from infringing on other people rights and\or well being.

And although Hitler, who used the gas chambers to commit genocide, may have been a-theistic, it appears that the German people still possessed a sense of God being on there side in their great struggle. Which enable them to commit all kinds of atrocities, since it was for the greater good.

But you still have not addressed my main question of what constitutes high or low moral character. What you have given are examples of criminal deviate behavior. And although one could say that such persons probably do not have much moral character, and I would tend to agree with you. It does not establish that one moral code as opposed to another, leads to criminal deviate behavior.

So what does constitute high moral character? Is that something that only those who follow the bible to the letter can possess, and that those who dissent from the collective are bound to be morally inferior? That would seem to follow the same logic that the mulsims put forth that all those who do not follow the koran are morally inferior. Do you, as I assume you do not follow the teachings of the koran, feel that you are morally inferior?

”Kerberos is a software package which is a copyright of CMU.”

Actually it is an authentication protocol that was developed at MIT. CMU may have a copyrighted program of the same name, as I believe the MIT protocol is public domain. If not, CMU may have a legal problem.
