Two laws of electricity. It always flows to ground, and it always takes the path of least resistance.

You are confusing the concept of electrical ground with the actual ground. 
In many circuits you have a common “ground”. In a car your entire frame is the electrical ground and connected to the negative battery port. The actual ground has nothing to do with this. 
For house wiring the actual ground is used for a universal connection for return.
