The OP tells the whole story I think. Apparently Metaxas says he started it as a joke and then everybody started repeating it as a real quote. Or something like that.

Views expressed are always my own and not my employer's, my church's, my family's, my neighbors', or my pets'. The house plants have authorized me to speak for them, however, and they always agree with me.
