I love you for posing these questions! Yay for thinking! I wish I was not at work because I want to join this great conversation.
For the most part, I agree with Dungeonwriter's first post. You have to define the idea of what is alive. The problem may not be if an angel is alive or not, but the idea of what constitutes a living creature. Does that make sense? That is, if you find what prevents an angel from fitting the criteria, then you may discover what you don't like about the definition of a living creature.
