Perfection in the religious Christian sense is often God, and humans striving for perfection is basically doing what God tells you and following the rules. Right and wrong doesn't really apply to a hypothetical omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient being that created the universe. Such a god can't be wrong because whatever he deems right is right.
