Filing this one beside "I will face god and walk backwards into hell" and "you cannot kill me in a way that matters" on the list of Impossibly Powerful Phrases With Baffling Origin Stories.
"I will face god and walk backwards into hell" - a Dril tweet about yelling at zoo animals.
"You cannot kill me in a way that matters." - a Tumblr shitpost about mushrooms.
"Do you think God stays in heaven because he too lives in fear of what he's created?" - Spy Kids 2, the children's movie.
And now:
"Babies are born worshipping unknown gods." - a Dwarf Fortress bug report.
Any other good candidates?
