One issue is that this power exists.

Another then is what it is used for.

If you have a gun and you use it to and only to prevent, oh, bank robbery say, that's fine. If you use it to rob someone, not fine.

Government has enormous power, and now that power is being used for evil and for darkness, and that's the problem.

This order is "power is being used for evil and for darkness"? Come on, cut it out with the hyperbole. It does no one any favors.
