The word "damn" is a verb meaning "to condemn." In a sentence: "The priest could do nothing but damn the politician's behavior." In the form of a noun, "damnation" is condemnation: "The minister preached about death and damnation." It is nearly synonymous with curse: "Job cursed the day of his birth." "Job damned the day of his birth." Over-sensitive computer filters aside, any of these uses is correct and unobjectionable.
In popular usage, "damn" is an impolite expletive, considered rude in polite company. However, it is no longer regarded as particularly bad cursing. Adding God's name to the expletive increases the severity and rudeness.
