Huge spoilers for BoFIV!
Fou-lu was a god. He was summoned to unite the continent and stuff. But being only half-complete didn't really help him and he had to restore his powers for a while until his other half shows up. Hundreds of years later the war is still going on, people have forgotten it's purpose and they are out to kill him too. Now, killing a god is rather stupid, especially if he has good intentions (stop the war, make the world a better place). The first few attempts teach Fou-lu there are some major assholes running the empire. Then they sacrifice his first true love in order to kill him. That's when he pretty much snaps and decides the world is better off without humans.
The difference between him and good old Sephy? Sephiroth was a respected person, yes, he was used, but I bet his life wasn't all that crappy. He could have used his power and influence in a different way, he could have helped himself and the planet without Meteor. I mean, the planet was doing just fine without Shinra, wasn't it? It would have been more logical to fight people like Hojo and all of humanity. But, yeah, in his defense, mako/the lifestream can't be good for your mental health.
