So while this strange rule does have a reason and desired outcome, it only works on people who cannot reason and examine things properly, thankfully for the writers that is most of the population.

Not a good argument for your case. Since the Bible clearly supports capital punishment, a person tried and found guilty of being a mass murderer would be summarily executed. So, nothing is really "gained" by society, nor is any restitution made toward the murder victims and their families, by converting a mass murderer to Christianity, just before that person's execution.
EDIT: Oh, and another thing: I can reason and examine things properly. In fact, I even excel at it. And yet I have come to the belief, after exhaustive reasoning and examination, that God and Christ exist. (However, I do not believe the earth was created a mere 4,000 years ago. Nor do I believe in the Rapture.)
