"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?

@log @mhoye Wasn't the "attack and dethrone" one from a news post about WU? I always assumed it was conservative media making their enemies sound cool as hell (per usual), which IMO fits the theme even better :D

...Fact-checked myself! Turns out that language is from a newscast & not exactly accurate – but it's unclear how similar it may be to something they actually wrote? https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/attack-and-dethrone-god

Thanks for the reminder about this :V

@alexglow @mhoye It is quite a feat to distill 200+ pages of communist guerilla argument into four words that could have been the title of a bestseller instead of an inch of a thick FBI file. The *explicit* goals were "arm the spirit" and "topple the empire", but when you look at a dollar bill through "They Live" shades (for non-cinemaphiles: the secret subliminal message on the money is "THIS IS YOUR GOD"), it all comes together.
