I know you are an atheist but there is One who does give life
Otherwise, life comes from randomness, is sustained by randomness and why not let go randomly?

You do believe. That's your choice. And you believe for a variety of reasons, too. Reasons you consider reliable, reasons that are true to you.
We've both made choices. we both consider them true and right. Yet they conflict. We have the ability for that. To believe different things and to believe them sincerely. People also have the human ability to commit suicide. That can be a choice that we can make, too. That ability, whether you believe suicide to be right or wrong, is a human ability that people can and do utilize, for a variety of reasons. Reasons that I'm sure the suicidal consider to be true, just as much as we consider our respective views to be true.
And if not everyone believes in God, not everyone believes that suicide has afterlife consequences. And people are, by the right of free thought that supersedes all belief, allowed to not believe in God. By their right of free thought, they can believe they need to die. They can totally believe it, in fact. And if you can be sure there is a God, and I can be sure their isn't, then somebody can definitely be sure they need to die.
If it's my life, then it's my life. It's my view. It's my belief. I'm not asking for the right to end the life of someone else, I'm utilizing a natural physical right and ability to end my own life. Nobody can stop me in that, not really. Unless of course I'm a vegetable; I spend my days looking at four walls; I can't speak; I can't move; I can't cry, and I have no respite. In which case you can certainly hook me up to machines and protect the sanctity of my life by artificially prolonging the endless, nauseating suffering. Of course, nobody really WANTS to die, though. Nobody really prefers to die if they think they can be happy, and I'm certain that everybody would rather be happy, than die. But for some people, dying is better.
