And god put the weekend on saturday

So, you can still thank god it's friday

(Also Henry Ford, not the unions, made the 5 day work week)

In Germany, it was the unions who made the 5 day work week. So we can still tell God to fuck off and thank our unions like OP intended

But which god? Not the Christian one, because Friday is named after Freya, a Norse god. And Saturday was named after Saturn, a Roman god.

In Hebrew the days are named after numbers (day 1-7)
