That's right: in a non-theistic world, we don't have a purpose. Suicide is therefore the ending of a purposeless existence.
Is it mean to people to whom you mean something? You bet. Is it wrong? Well, no. Then again, I think morality is relative anyway. People who disagree with me on that point are quite unlikely to buy my argument. Otherwise, I'm not sure how you couldn't.
I enjoy my life. When I stop enjoying it, I hang on to it in the hope that it'll become enjoyable again. If I know that it'll never be enjoyable again, why bother with living? To Finish What God Put Me Here For? Not if there's no God. Because It Is Wrong? Well, who says? Because It Will Make My Family And Friends Very Sad? Yeah, it will, assuming I have any, but I can allow myself a bit of selfishness when it comes to life-or-death situations.
