Don't insult my intelligence. It still neither explain why the fal'Cie wish to call a deity, or why they think killing a shit-load of people will make one turn up. It explains nothing. It's a leap of logic that makes no sense. How do you make the jump from "hates the state of mindset the cocoon society" to "let's call God to change it". How can he justify his actions. Why would creating more chaos and killing everyone make God turn up, there's no justification for this assumption. Why would God "reboot" everything, there's no justification for this assumption. What fucking good is all this if you're dead? Never considered. How are you going to "talk to God" if you're already dead? Never explained....

This is not a case of me "no getting it", I understood the story in perfect clarity thank you, that's why I can see the many many ridiculous plot holes and massive amounts of circular logic. Trying to make me out to be an idiot who just doesn't get it isn't going to work, so stop it; the fact is the story is pants on head retarded and you're just too much of a fanboy to admit that.

would it help if there were some kind of reference to an old religious script in ff13, similar to bible, koran or other ancient teachings in our world, with concepts like the flood our judgement day to answer your questions?

Not especially no, it would be a flimsy reference that's hidden in a datalog (amongst the what must hundreds of datalogs), which makes no sense for the fal'Cie to put so much stock into, and would only serve to highlight how terrible the story is because it's never actually covered in gameplay, mentioned by the characters, or even hinted at by the world. It would be a perfect example of a total failure to grasp the concept of "show don't tell".

In short, I already know about the datalog, it's a vague poem that was presumably written by a human and has no backing behind it that would assign it any greater value than any other random peice of artistic expression. It's lazy grasping and even then it's so bady written I'd claim it doesn't qualify as an explaination. Hell they even hide it in the Analects which is the "unimportant fluff peices" section. Comparing that to the Bible or Koran is quite frankly insulting, and I'm an atheist, so that says something.
