He's a libertarian and he is playing devil's advocate to make sure that we understand why we believe what we believe.
I'm the one here with the valid reasoning.

There isn't any evidence for natural rights and that is a good reason to doubt their existence......I'm the one providing the vastly superior reasoning.

Your assertion that we have a right to do anything isn't evidence.......Are you now aware of that?

It rekindled my admiration for the big brains that understood that there is another way to look at governments rather than those that ruled by divine right.
There is as much evidence for divine rights as there is for natural rights.....More if you consider what the Bible has to say about the matter to be evidence.

Rights are entitlements (not) to perform certain actions, or (not) to be in certain states; or entitlements that others (not) perform certain actions or (not) be in certain states. plato.stanford.edu 
In order to have an entitlement others must honor the entitlement or, as I said earlier, one's rights involve the duty of others to respect them.

As I explained earlier having the freedom to do something and having a right to do something aren't quite the same.
