By reading your posts, I feel as if I lose brain cells a lot quicker than I would averagely.

Honestly, I hate when people yell at you for not believing in the same thing as them. I don't believe in God for scientific purposes, and if you don't respect my opinion, I will not respect yours. Just because I'm an atheist does not mean I'm a satanic follower, or any other crazy reasons. And if God happens to be real, he won't send me to Hell for not believing in him, he would if I was a bad person. So, crazy christians, don't respond to this if all you're going to say is I'm going to Hell.

You state clearly in your argument that they do not follow all six characteristics of life, and in order to be classified as living, they must have all of them. It is not possible for anything to not be either living or dead, and since viruses do not contain cells, they aren't alive. ALL living things MUST contain cells.

@Sharkkiller has a valid point for the "yes" argument side, that they can't be either, but that is not possible. Something can't be half alive, half dead, it must be one or the other. And since they clearly state in their argument that viruses don't have all six characteristics of life, they are classified as nonliving.

Viruses are not living from the fact that they do not follow all six characteristics of life. I can see how many people think they are alive, but in all fairness, all living things MUST contain cells, and viruses do not.

I can understand why many people believe that viruses are living; but in order to be classified as alive, it must have all six characteristics of life. Viruses can't reproduce with just the help of another virus. To reproduce, there must be host, not a mate. Viruses as well do not respond to stimuli, or in other words, metabolize. As for another example, they aren't made of cells. They are just DNA/RNA, and all living things must contain cells, viruses are not even unicellular. In conclusion, viruses do not follow all six characteristics of life, bringing me to the fact that no, viruses are not alive.
