Trump's ever increasing number of lapel pins...

Assuming your post is not a prank...
There is no real religious claim being made here. Only a moral one. And (if I'm reading it correctly) it casts aspersion on non-believers without any justification. #Atheists #Theists #Christians are equivalent in the argument... people either act/think with others in mind, or they don't. Religion doesn't come into it.
#Pyrotheology appears to be the creation of Peter Rollins. I can't say I understand "what he's on about" with this definition... https://peterrollins.com/pyrotheology.
This sentence makes me think of #Existentialism (which again is not a religious doctrine)...
"...revealing that we must tarry with the antagonisms of existence if we wish to see transformation in the personal and political world."
If you are interested in existentialism I suggest reading the novels by #AlbertCamus!
"The Fall" and "The Plague" are my personal favorites, plus the four page "Myth of Sysyphus"...

Home Invasion
I had to clean out and reset my #MartinHouse last spring because the #Grackles had taken over. It was odd because they didn't really make nests, just a few bits of detritus each time. It was more like they were just claiming the real estate so the #PurpleMartins couldn't use it! I finally got the bad birds to leave by spraying the house with a hose. The Martins moved in almost immediately. Love 'em! 💕

Note the ultra thin tongue… used to extract snails from their shells!

I started out near Meyers Beach, paddled about two miles of open water to the caves and then explored another two miles of shoreline.

The March of Folly -- Louis XIV vs Trump
I've reworked these extended quotations from #TheMarchofFolly by #BarbaraTuchman (1986) for today's wannabe "King" #Trump. Tuchman's words speak to greater truths. My words are my own and speak for more immediate truths in desperate times.
"A phenomenon noticeable throughout history regardless of place or period is the pursuit by governments of policies contrary to their own interests." --The March of Folly, Chapter 1
https://richard.rathe.org/commentary/trump_march_of_folly/index.html
"Louis XIV is usually considered a master monarch, largely because people tend to accept a successfully dramatized self-estimation. In reality he exhausted France’s economic and human resources by his ceaseless wars and their cost in national debt, casualties, famine and disease…"
"Seen in that light, Louis XIV is the prince of policy pursued contrary to ultimate self-interest."

Donald Trump is usually considered a master businessman and politician, largely because people tend to accept a successfully dramatized self-estimation. In reality he is exhausting America's economic and human resources thru his illegal #wars, illegal #tariffs, increased national debt, famine (#SNAP, #Inflation), and disease (#Measles, #FoodSafety)…Seen in that light, Trump is the NEW prince of policy pursued contrary to ultimate self-interest.

It really surprised me actually. For a website that appears to be about reality/facts--manipulating images of "things in the real world" with #AI seems a very poor choice.
That said, I'm very interested in "dual-benefit" #solar like solar-over-canal, solar-over-parking, and even solar-over-crops. Turns out many things benefit from a little shade. 🙂

As an alternative theory... compliance is a good way to tell which #monoplists/#corporations support #authoritarianism.

@shonin This is an important trend I've read about elsewhere. Something I'm very interested in--dual-use solar. For example...
My comments below are not directed at you as the poster. 🙂
=================================
Comments directed to ecoportal.net:
The main image has subtext in the html article text below it...
"#Image generated with #Artificial_Intelligence"
Three thoughts I had in sequence...1) AI is totally un-necessary if the thing photographed actually exists!
2) At least it's labeled, but...
3) Why isn't the label watermarked/burned into the image itself?
My guess is #Clickbait.
IMO: ALL #AI content (text/visual/aural) should be watermarked as such!
I unboosted the article and did not read it. 👎
