So, every time a Christian tells me that I didn't find God because I didn't look hard enough or do it correctly, that Christian is lying? Does God open himself up to those who seek him cynically, or doubting his existence and not wanting to find it?

If the answer to those two question is 'no', then indeed one must first believe in God so that one can believe in God, and when one fails to find God, it is because he does not first believe in God. You have to completely devote yourself, mind body and heart, to God before he'll open up to you and 'prove' his existence to you. Which is exactly what the likes of Drich, strodel and most of the other Christbots here repeat endlessly as if programmed to do so.

Confirmation bias is what that is called.

Either you're being thick headed or you're trying to rewrite what I stated. I really do not know how you came to the conclusion you did from what I wrote, it just does not seem logical.
I said God gives the faith so one will search and accept, then faith leads to belief while walking with God. At both of these stages of relationship people believe in God, yet some walk away. It's when one reaches the knowledge of God, truly understanding who God is, that they can't, IMO, walk away from God, it is at this point a person realizes what their salvation really means, they see God in a light never experienced before. I'm not giving you confirmation bias, this is experiencing God. I'm not going to write all this out so I'll give you the passages. Read Matt. 13:1-23 and keep in mind that faith is the seed and take it through the progression of F/B/K. After you have done this and you still do not understand what I've been trying to tell you...well.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
