they understand "Jesus." That's the problem. The issue is not understanding the context in which it was used. It's extremely common to preface a sentence with "Jesus" "Christ" or "Jesus Christ" when expressing exasperation and/or disbelief. Just because you don't understand it doesn't make it profanity.
In fact, the only way it could be profanity is if you happen to follow a particular set of personal beliefs, and I really can't be found responsible for that.
And how am I even close to "smearing" Christians, non-Americans, or non-native English speakers? Ignorance is a smear now?
