I agree with that. I don't believe in natural rights.

Blue, You know that Marcus believed in a kind of god, a great moral and physical force that made and ruled the world dispassionate and aloof. Natural law was deduced from this force, and later adopted by Cicero, whose style alone introduced it to the early Church. The Jews and Christians in trouble called out to God for help, but stoics appealed to their inner self-esteem, their certainty that nothing outside could hurt -- to "The kingdom of God that is within you!(Tolstoi)" a kind of supreme egoism, immune to attack from without. Russell thought it a snooty philosophy which in its good will to the helpless deprived them of what the stoics valued above all, the right of inner self-control.
