Why don't we use the names of religious entities other than God or Jesus in vain?

I don’t think it’s offensive to say “J.. C…!” Or the like….
I think of them as little prayers.

You mean they brought the truth of the Gospel to “your people,” none, I assume, you have ever actually met?

No, they forced Christianity on my people. Physically forced. Forced the religion. The language. All of us. They didn't have a choice.

If my people were forced to believe the Norse gods, then I'm sure "Fcking Odin" would be my go to.

With all due respect, your grasp of history is incorrect.

I remember at lady at the bar tell me she found it offensive when I ordered a Bloody Mary.
She said that name just didn't sit right with her.

Damning people isn't a thing in Buddhism. Buddha D--- it would make no sense.

Damnation is not a thing in Buddhism or any of the non-Abrahamic religions. So it would make no sense to tie the two together.

g*d damn you is literally a curse that comes from your religion.

This. Old Mary was beheaded, although she most definitely wasn’t a virgin. Your bartender was misinformed.
