He also wrote a scene where there is war in the mortal world and the gods make an appearance to tell everyone to stop that, although not all of the gods disapprove of the war but some of them are having their arms twisted, literally. But of course also there's Fredric Brown's "Answer" - which is "No, F-R-E-D-R-I-C", of course.
