You have to pick a day since in many religion (they copy each other sometimes b/c you can not create anything from scratch) since the belief is God built the world (universe) in six days and rested the seventh day. Indeed I find it silly God gets tired to begin with. I believe that Man created God and gave him all the qualities of human beings, including feelings of anger (the flood, plagues..etc) also feelings of guilt (rainbow after the rain so there will be no other world-wide floods)
Best thing is to be the best person you can be, love your fellow human beings and help them whenever possible, educate yourself and be a good person then you have done your mission when life is done.
I agree there are many silly statements in organized religion..

I think you mean to say "who made this silly statement"... Anyway, it's apparantly because long ago it was said that the first fruits of the harvest are to be given to God, and in the calendar we use today Sunday is the first day of the week so that is the day everyone should rest and show their respect to God. I personally see that "The Sabbath" should be taken that literally that NO should be done on that day, but that is what some people believe, so to each his own...

A statement created by people for their
own benefit. Nothing to do with religion.

God created heaven and earth in six days. On the seventh day, he took rest. That's why. :)
