Philosophical help with a Christian debate

We're talking about an 'all-powerful god' here. If he appeared to people throughout the biblical times (be it a burning bush, angels, miracles, and through Jesus) then he could easily appear to everyone on the planet now.

Because fanatics have to work that hard at proving god, it can only mean one of two things:

1. God doesn't exist, or
2. God doesn't WANT to be found, so they should stop trying to look for him.
There's another possibility-- God is so omnipresent that there's nothing abnormal or special about him/her/it. That divine X-factor is literally the foundation of everything that exists.
