Pride is a sin.
And anyway, why be proud of, what is claimed to be, an innate attribute about oneself?
Makes about as sense as being proud of being white. Two sides of the same coin.

What is there to be proud of about being white? Centuries of oppression and genocide? Yuck.

Op should just be gay and stop worrying about it

It makes sense to need evidence to believe a claim. But you didn't just state you didn't believe hell is real, you went further and stated you believed that it is not.
You saw a claim "hell is real", and then stated a belief in the negation of it: "hell is not real".
But what if we started with the claim "hell is not real", shouldn't you then also believe the negation of that too? "hell is not not real" aka "hell is real"
Clearly you cannot believe both and there must've been something else that led you to the belief that hell isn't real.
Maybe, relatedly, what pieces of information are you using to determine the claim is "wild"? Do you have experiences with other universes or planes of existence where there are and are not hells? How else would you even begin to think about how likely a claim like that is or isn't?

Title: The Origin of the Seven Deadly Sins: A Journey Beyond Scripture and Dante's Inferno
The Seven Deadly Sins, also known as the Capital Vices or Cardinal Sins, have long been a subject of theological, philosophical, and cultural interest. They are often mistakenly believed to have originated from the Christian Bible or Dante Alighieri's "Inferno". However, the roots of these moral transgressions lie elsewhere, and their evolution over time has led to the establishment of their negation, the Seven Virtues.
The Seven Deadly Sins, as we know them today, include Pride, Greed, Wrath, Envy, Lust, Gluttony, and Sloth. Contrary to popular belief, these sins are not explicitly listed together in the Bible. While the Bible does mention various sins and vices, it does not present a definitive list of seven. The concept of a specific set of seven deadly sins is a product of early Christian monasticism and the works of several influential theologians.
The first known list of deadly sins can be traced back to the 4th century AD, to a monk named Evagrius Ponticus. Evagrius identified eight evil thoughts that could lead a person away from God and towards evil. These were Gluttony, Lust, Avarice, Sadness, Anger, Acedia (a term roughly equivalent to Sloth), Vainglory, and Pride. This list was later adapted by Pope Gregory I in the 6th century, who condensed the eight vices into seven, merging Vainglory into Pride, and Sadness into Sloth, while adding Envy.
The Seven Deadly Sins were further popularized by the works of Thomas Aquinas in the 13th century. Aquinas provided a comprehensive analysis of each sin, its corresponding virtue, and its opposite vice. It was through his work that the Seven Deadly Sins became widely accepted within the Christian community.
Dante Alighieri's "Inferno", part of his epic "Divine Comedy", is often mistakenly credited as the origin of the Seven Deadly Sins. While Dante's work does vividly depict the punishments for these sins in Hell, it was written in the 14th century, long after the concept of the Seven Deadly Sins had been established.
As a counterbalance to the Seven Deadly Sins, the Seven Virtues were established. These virtues, which include Prudence, Justice, Temperance, Courage, Faith, Hope, and Charity, are seen as the antidotes to the sins. Just as the sins lead one away from God, the virtues lead one towards Him. The virtues were not established as a direct response to the sins, but rather evolved alongside them as part of the broader Christian ethical framework.
In conclusion, the Seven Deadly Sins originated not from the Bible or Dante's "Inferno", but from the reflections and teachings of early Christian monks and theologians. They have since become a significant part of Christian ethics and moral philosophy, serving as a guide for moral conduct and spiritual growth. Their negation, the Seven Virtues, further enrich this moral landscape, offering a path towards righteousness and virtue.
