Besides shooting Orel, Clay is objectively an amazing father at heart. He just wants what's best for his children and has displayed as much through out the entire show.
He drinks constantly and hides in his study so his kids don't see him indulge in self-pity and alcoholism. The only person who introduced him to spanking his kid was his wife, so you can't even blame him for that. Plus, he took his kids to Church every Sunday to teach them good morals and principles.
Obvious bait, but he beat the shit out of Orel for doing shit that wasn't even bad, and also beat his son after some sick fuck got him addicted to drugs rather than beating the guy up.

>wasn't even bad
Taking drugs, killing dozens of people by reviving the dead, and etc. I'd say those are all valid reasons to punish your child. Have a pretty skewed perspective as to what's proper parenting and what isn't, pal.
>beat the shit out of
A spanking with the belt? Okaay.

>wants what's best for his children.
Objectively false, he wants to break Orel's optimism and show that his optimism is built on a foundation of sand
>hides in his study so his kids don't see him indulge in self-pity and alcoholism
That makes him a bad father

What? Clay gets drunk in public all the time.
He went to church drunk on two cartons of hard milk.
