first you say "I don't believe that God doesn't exist" then you say "there is no God"  which is it?

Look closely. I put the verb "believe" in italics.

As Frink said, belief and knowledge are two different things. I don't believe there is no God, but then again I don't believe the Earth goes around the Sun. I know the Earth goes around the sun.

But if you know the Earth goes around the sun, you must also believe it goes around the sun.  

So you are saying that you know God doesn't exist.  That seems like a rather arrogant thing to say.

 In my personal view of the world I exclude any metaphysics, therefore there is no God.

I wouldn't call that 'knowing knowing God doesn't exist',  I'd call that 'assuming God doesn't exist'.
