Default Basic Home Electrical Question

No, it has already gone through a resistor. It's a return seeking its
neutral or ground to complete its circuit, and this fella needs to
understand that if he gets in between it he's going to get hurt.

Not exactly, when the white wire or neutral is part of a circuit, there
is
"flow", and if you were to cut that neutral wire and get between the two
wires, or the live end and ground, there will be flow through you.

Certainly, but only because the live end of the white wire is now a hot
rather than a neutral.
