squeak: The reason it’s used as a swear word is because one of the Aseres Hadibros is not to say Hashem’s name in vain. The Christians say using the name of Jesus is swearing because they believe he is god, and to say it for no reason is swearing. By saying it’s a swear word, you’re actually giving credence to this claim! A Jew should say it’s NOT a swear word, as Jesus was obviously not god!
