No?

Okay, who would you choose for a partner in a new business enterprise in which you have sunk your enitre fortune and bet your future?

A. Someone who would cheat you.
B. Someone who would leave you when times got tough.
C. Someone who would kill your dog for sport.

If you wrote in "none of the above", you're starting to get it.
Apparently I was not clear enough with you. Are you trying intentionally to miss my point?

If you HAD TO CHOOSE one of the three. No "none of the above" option. You had to choose between a cheater, a quitter, or a dog murderer, which would you choose? I thought that was pretty simple.

Of course I don't want the cheater. But I'm not giving choices here in this HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE.

You are way too freakin' literal. Jeez, try to make an analogy. Jesus himself would have been frustrated with you when trying to tell a parable.
