To paraphrase Dostoevsky "When there is no God all things are permitted". In nature we don't see justice operate, we see force. Moral intuition is just that, intuition. The Moral Argument is a problem for the non-theist position; once you start arguing for the real existence of non-materials you start making the theist's case. Bahnsen's Transcendental Argument is another similar question. The non-theist is stuck pleading "logic just is" or "ethics just is". Sounds just like Anselm's Ontological Argument.
