It should be "I swore to God that I would never go back there." or "I swear to God that I will never go back there."
Your verbs in your sentence must agree. Swore is past tense. Will is present/future tense. You need to use all one tense. Either you did it (swore) in the past, or you will do it(swear) in the present/future.

You're mixing past and future tenses.
I think this would work: "I swore to God that I would never go back there."

No. It should read:
I swore to God that I would never go back there.
Tenses in dependent clauses in English are relative to the tense of the main clause. In this case "would" is the past tense of "will" (as bizarre as that sounds).

You should use would instead of will, but anyway you should not swore to God at all.

Since 'swore' is past tense I think 'will' should be as well...therefore I would use 'would' in it's place...

No, that sentence is politically incorrect.
