1) I believe something does not exist if the requirements for its existence are contradictory.
2) If there is expected evidence for its existence and that evidence does not exist, a theoretical 100% of all possible observations failing to provide evidence where expected would cause me to believe something does not exist. Since that is not currently possible, my position is that I do not believe something exists with a confidence scaling based on number of failed observations completed out of all possible (subjective I admit, but it is confidence after all)
3) If there is no expected evidence for an entity, there is no possible way to determine if the entity exists, but lacking the ability to manifest in the material world means such an entity can have no effect upon the material world so the question 'does the entity exist' becomes pointless to me.
I consider myself an agnostic atheist. I don't assert 'there can be no god' but rather 'If there is a god, he doesn't hang around here'
What would you call my position on the entity called 'god'? Aside from erroneous, that is always someone's prerogative I suppose

NOT logic:
1. Claim to have logic
2. Throw a tantrum when asked to present it
3. Claim you've already presented it
4. Repeat step 1
