all religions/cults are myths, including the christian cult.

none of them are provable, they are all myths.

i am not sure if according to the Janis he is considered god but recently during Desirae did see on TV that there is a temple dedicated to Raven where they pray to him.
he was a very learned man according to mythology. his ten heads actually denote the knowledge that he had.

Not only Jainism but a lot of Hindus also pray Ravana as their God. Infact they even portray Rama in very bad light.

Raven was a Brahman by caste who was a great worship per of Shiva. he was a very learned & successful king.his only sin was kidnapping sitar.still he kept her in Ashil Vania & never touched her he was one of Vishnu's warplanes in his last birth . the warplanes were born as a demons because of a Rush's curse. god gave them a choice to be born as his devotees for 10 rebirths or to be born as demons for 3 rebirths & get killed by god himself.they opted for the later one as they wanted to come back to god as early as possible. Raven & gymkhanaRNA one of their demon forms.the other two forms are shishupala &dantavakra, & hiranya kashipu & hiranyaksha.ravana was such a great devotee of shiva that shive had even given his atma linga to him. very few people worship him as god.rama is an incarnation of vishnu & he is worshpped in india.
