Damn is not a bad word. It derives from the Latin verb "damno," which means to condemn. There are many contexts in which the word can be used where it is not considered an expletive. Here are a couple of examples:

The prisoner was damned to 30 years in prison for his heinous crime.

Failure to heed one's health in youth can damn an individual to a miserable existence in their later years.
