the other routes have resistors
-
If you have a 2 lane, toll-road and a 12 lane, non toll-road without speed limit, parallel to it, will all traffic pass through it?
-
That's called a short circuit.
Yes, current is like water. It finds the easiest route to flow.
A zero-ohm resistor is theoretical (even thick wires have some resistance).

For example 2 bulbs in parallel and add a thick wire in parallel.
The bulbs will go out as virtually (say 99.999%) of the current will take the easy route through the thick (low resistance) wire.

ALMOST all, since there is no such thing as a path with absolutely NO resistance.
