If its the killer then I need to know how you justify this as mercy
Im thinking of killing loads of people so I can be put in a cell and have the time to find God, that way I be saved. (= am I immoral? Should I be saved? Is that justice? Is that mercy?

THE KILLER IF TRULY REPENTANT WILL BE FORGIVEN.
THE TRUE ATHEIST Couldn't care less FOR IF THEY TRULY DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD.
IF YOU REALLY CARE ABOUT MERCY, WHY ARE YOU CALLING YOURSELF AN ATHEIST??? IT STANDS TO REASON IN YOUR HEART YOU BELIEVE IN THE LORD YOUR GOD!!!
BTW, THOSE WHO THINK THEY CAN SIN ALL THEY WANT TO ON PURPOSE AND THINK, OH! GOD WILL FORGIVE ME IF I REPENT BEFORE DEATH?
FIRST OF ALL, YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN YOU WILL DIE IT COULD BE SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING, THEN IT WOULD BE TOO LATE IF NOT CONFESSED ALL SINS BEFORE HAND.
ALSO READ THIS ABOUT THE MORTAL SIN OF PRESUMPTION>>>
Presumption (that is to say the expectation of automatic forgiveness from sins regardless of whether one is repentant or not) is, indeed, a mortal sin, since it usurps the will of God. We have hope that forgiveness will be given to us if we die in a state of sin, but we cannot assume that it will be. This is, effectively, a check upon our sinning freely and with abandon if we continue to still believe in a God. Essentially it means that we must take responsibility for our actions. It is only good practise to hope for the best but be cautious about the things that we do.
Presumption would seem to be a sin regardless of the matter of fact which you are making 'presumptions' about since it is the intent with which you do something that matters in this case. If I do something while understanding it to be sinful - whether or not that understanding is erroneous - and expect forgiveness regardless, then I am presuming upon God. It essentially raises me to be His equal, which is a status I am most definitely not entitled to.

Not the killer, that's for sure.
Every single one of God's human children shall have a fair chance to learn the gospel of Christ (1 Peter 3:18-20; 4:6) and benefit from it (1 Cor. 15:29). God's love, justice, and mercy are all intact.
Besides, Jesus clearly teaches that he shall reward us according to our works, not our beliefs or some arbitrary shim of God's.

Serial killer gets into Heaven because every serial killer finds Christ after being caught.

If you mean by "found Christ" the killer became a faithful Christian, the killer.
Fortunately, by God's grace, he has provided a way through an obedient faith in his Son Jesus (Rom 1:5; Ac 6:7; Heb 11:8) where even though one is a sinner and thus deserves to go to hell (Rom 6:23), they can instead go to heaven to be with God forever, something no one deserves.
No one can ever be "good enough" to go to heaven, so God doesn't require that of any one. But he does require repenting of ones sins and obeying the gospel (Lk 13:3; Ac 2:38; 2Th 1:8) and remaining faithful to him until death (Rev 2:10).

Only people who have been sanctified by the Emperor of Mars are allowed in heaven.
