Title text:

Unstoppable force-carrying particles can't interact with immovable matter by definition.

Transcript:

[An arrow pointing to the right and a trapezoid are labeled as 'Unstoppable Force' and 'Immovable Object' respectively.]
[The arrow is shown as entering the trapezoid from the left and the part of it in said trapezoid is coloured gray.]
[The arrow is shown as leaving the trapezoid to the right and is coloured black.]
[Caption below the panel:] I don't see why people find this scenario to be tricky.

Dear God,

A rock so heavy you cannot lift it is not an immovable object. Just cause you are weak does not mean you are right.

Kind regards, me

Joke’s on you, old man! I have a chariot of iron!

Even if they are able to lift it, it still would mean god wasn't powerful enough to create a rock so heavy even they couldn't lift it.

Making them essentially weak again.
