Questions for Christians about the Christian concept of God

Now, if God created the universe in 6 days, the 7th day is used to praise God for what He has given us while he rests. That is why many people go to church on Sunday.
To me, that seems like a logical answer. I could be wrong, but from a logical point of view, that's what I see the 7th day as.

Actually the 7th day accepted by all three religions that used that system is was and always will be represented by Saturday. Christians go to church on Sunday because that is the day Jesus arose from his tomb and ascended to heaven. If you read the gospels you'll notice that Jesus acknowledges the Sabbath as the same day as the Jews and never attempts to imply that Saturday is the wrong day.

Like I said, I don't claim any religion, and I haven't for a looooooong time. I'll just go along with what you said.
AndrE16686:
People and Muslims (especially infinite) shouldn't take religious scriptures too seriously. They are ancient, people used to be stupider and so priests had to write in a way for the average joe to understand.

Not true. People more or less couldn't read. That's why it was up to priests to do the preaching and read from the scriptures. Look at the book of revelations and tell me that is dumbed down. No one can fully understand it it's so cryptic, and the rest of the bible is still being debated over by christians.
