I think its because in the bible it says liars will go to hell. The bible also indicates hell as a lake of fire. So that if you lie you will go to hell if you're sins aren't forgiven. Hell, lying, fire...would the phrase "liar liar pants on fire". Then again everyone will think my theory is totally wrong but it was just a thought.
