he lift up his spear against eight hundred, whom he slew at one time. (2 samuel 23:8)
How do you kill 800 people with one spear? Sounds pretty far fetched to me, like maybe the bible is full of crap.

Whether it is far fetched or not depends how you take the phrase "at one time". The Bible did not say that all the deaths happened at the same second. It says that they happened at one time, as in it could have been a battle where during the course of that battle he killed 800 people with his spear.
I would ask where your heart is when loacating this verse? Are you searching for God or are you just looking for a way to "debunk" the Holy Word of God? I ask you do you know where you are going? If you died tonight would you be at God's right hand or seperated from Him eternally?

There's a ton of ways to debunk the Bible without grasping at straws. Just find a really good book about Atheism, or a good debate about the proof for Christianity. I agree, the Bible is full of crap, but there are a lot more convincing arguments than that one.
Have a wonderful day!
