So the creator of Moral Orel wrote a comic recently called Trent

>>93255611
It was the result of the creators wanting to address the unsatisfactory parts of their religious upbringing and deal with their resentments long held since childhood, but still wanting to love and forgive the parents and family they shared that unsatisfactory environment with, since they were born into unsatisfactory circumstances and trying to do their best too

They managed to balance the darker elements of their show successfully with intelligent humor, rather than just screaming stupid improv.

I tried pre-ordering it but international shipping would've cost me 100+ dollars

I really enjoyed it. The characters didn't feel really believable, and yet they didn't feel entirely unbelievable. It was in this weird uncanny valley. Also, I really enjoy musicals.

it's good writing that doesn't beat you over the head while standing on a soap box.

It showed an innocent child being thrown to hypocritical adults then eventually getting his innocence lost

I think, among everything, the most impressive aspect to me of Moral Orel is how it poked at religion with tact and grace. The show's use of Orel himself as a kind, happy-go-lucky devout christian interacting with corrupt assholes who take part in the same faith illustrates that the people of Moralton aren't bad or stupid for believing in Christ, but for their own flaws. This opens the door for exploration of the concept of faith, how people apply it to their lives, and of course the dangers of focusing too hard on specific aspects of ones own faith.

I'm an atheist, but I actually think a sense of spirituality is pretty important, and I fucking hate it when the best satire people can throw towards Christianity is "Hurr Durr, they're so stupid, burning books they don't like! Get with the times, dumbass!", and the subsequent horde of faggots who take the same stance and judge people for being religious.

TL;DR It opposes religious extremes rather than religion itself. and Seth Mcfarlane is a hack

Pretty much this. I also loved the progression of the show - starting out with Orel's hijinks and focusing mostly on him. In the second season they broadened the scope, looking at Orel's family life more and in the third season focusing on the whole town. Feels like Orel grew up between seasons and started to focus more and more on the society and the people around him rather than his own life and connection with faith.

Did people forget that at the end Orel rises above his upbringing, keeps his faith, and becomes a good husband/father?

If Christianity = bad is all you got from the show, then you really missed the point.
