Glass - the particles of glass have been cooled dramatically quickly therefore leaving them in liquid state, am i right, if so is glass a liquid chemically speaking?

Yes, the liquid glass will flow over VERY long periods of time. It is a technical definition, and not much use.

If you look at the glass on an old building, you will find that it is thicker on the bottom, suggesting that it is in fact a liquid in a supercooled state.

Glass is chemically speaking a supercooled (technical term liquid.

Glass at stp is a liguid and this has been proven because windows of an old church show that the different color glasses mixed. Glass is an extremely viscous liquid.

Glass is often considered to be a supercooled liquid, but a materials chemist or geochemist will consider it an amorphous solid (as opposed to a crystalline one).

Glass is a uniform material of arguable phase (where the word "phase" is used to describe either a gas, liquid, or solid).

Glass is a 'super-cooled' liquid. It has no crystalline structure.
A solid has a crystalline structure.
Glass over a period of many years becomes slowly crystalline, because it slowly becomes opaque. Thereby it slowly becomes a solid.

Yes, gas is considered a highly viscous liquid.
