The moral standard you choose to follow is too arbitrary a standard to impose on other people like that.

But a christian's moral standards are ok to impose on others?

It depends what you mean by "impose." Nobody can make someone believe something they don't genuinely believe.

But if you mean just "present their views to others for them to consider," yes. Doesn't everyone have that right? Christians actually have a reason that's consistent with their worldview to present their views to others. This person doesn't. Basically the person who made this meme is being a hypocrite. They're pretending to hold to a standard for the sake of a "push back," not because they actually sincerely hold that standard.

But even more importantly, when Christians present their views, their aim isn't to hold others to an arbitrary personal preference. Christians make the claim that their standard is objective truth. Anyone who's wise should be interested in discussing and finding out the truth, no matter which religion (or other kind of source) it comes from.

My key objection to this meme was not that it tries to impose things on others. Any claim to truth also makes the claim to impose itself on others to some degree, since truth is objectively real for everyone.

My objection was rather to the arbitrariness of the standard. I hope that clears up my response.
