Wayback Machine Purged of Scientology Criticism

muldrake writes "The Wayback Machine, an archive of websites as they appeared in their past incarnations, is reported by CNET in this story as having censored the Scientology-critical Xenu.net, in a repeat of the heavy-handed tactics used against Google as reported in this previous Slashdot thread."

Hmmm...
I'm not a Scientologist (not affiliated with ANY religion), but I've looked over your web site and watched the flash animation. All I can say is this:

Most all of what you say is also applicable to the Roman Catholic Church:

They exist soley to collect money (sure they spend some of it on charitable things but what's with the gold goblets, fine linen robes, vast tracks of land, incredible ornate arcitecture, etc)
They intend to take over the world by converting everyone to their faith and using their vast monetary reserves to pay for votes in government
Followers of the religion are often lied to by and coerced out of their money. Many give upwards of 50% of their income to the church.
Many people have died because of their beliefs that where brainwashed in to them by the curch. How many suicides are caused by people's depression over their not living up to the ideal of the curch?
When corruption is alledged within the curch, lies, coverups and misdirection are applied to 'fix' the sitution. The victims are chastized and declared as partially responsible for their victimization.
Issues that get to court are often settled before trial with large undisclosed amounts of money from the curch
They encourage their members to NOT read material about other religions, and detractors of the curch
Many members of the curch use violence or legal tactics to silence detractors of the curch

So what's the problem again? Oh yea. the RCC has been around for 1500 or so years, and Scientology is only about 20 years old. Older MUST be better. So why not go back to the oldest religions and worship as the Greeks, or the Chineese?
