What is moral independence?

Question

What would you define moral independence as, and what would prompt you to search fo it??

Answer 1

Moral independence is having no one to answer to but oneself.  A significant percentage of kids who go off to college immediately turn to alcohol and s*x, for example.  

People reject God for the same reason, i.e. they don't want any higher authority, including God, telling them how to live their lives.

Answer 2

i guess being morally independent and having different morals than the rest of society. if you were a rebel or wanted to form a better model of society.
