I-75 big jesus

i have just been thinking about all the peeps on line, fb and blogs who are believers is jesus and christ but hardly EVER say one thing about god...i am wondering if some very right, conservative religious folks don't "get" that god is a spirit in our souls whereas jesus seems ever so much easier to follow because he was a "person"...even to the extent that they mourned the lightening fire of the big jesus on I-75....that big white guy...according to biblical historians, jesus was short, dark and had curly black hair and did not look like max von sydow.
