Isn't it a violation of my religious freedom when the government won't accept my re-birth last week?
Wait a sec... does this mean that I can't buy beer anymore? I have to wait another 21 years????
WTF. that's lame.

That's not what being born-again means. It means crucifying the flesh and its desires; in effect, killing your carnal nature. It doesn't mean literally being born again. Nicodemus asked what the phrase "born again" means in the Book of John, chapter 3. Literal birth is what the government recognizes. The government doesn't recognize spiritual birth.
Also, I think you've missed the whole point of Christianity. Judging from the fact that you still want to drink beer, you certainly haven't made an attempt to crucify your flesh. You really need to read the Bible.

DIES LAUGHING!!!
Well if you were a born again in Canada you'd only have to wait 18 - plus if you factor in the sneeking in part you might get into bars at 16 years old!
Maybe you should star speaking in tongues and convulsing crying out "Jesus Help Me!" (but then again they just might commit you.....)
Sorry buddy you're stuck. Serve you right for converting!!! :P

Sorry, but they are only issued in heaven. The inner witness of the Spirit and the written Word will have to suffice for now.

You need a rebirth certificate for the church.
You can continue to use your old I.D. for beer.

You are a genius!
Sorry about the whole new 21 years thing...this is why most people get "born again" around 7-10...

The problem is, you wasn't the one to go to Records Dept. it's your parents responsibility to get that done.
