Default Car won't start

Yesterday I was getting ready to go to church and when I got in my car it won't start.
I swapped battery with my brother but still nothing is happening.
It doesn't look like it's the battery either because the radio and everything else is working fine.
Can it be the starter?
Or is it the selenoid or some other stuff.
The car clicks repeadedly when I try to start it.
Can it be that my brother's battery has died to since it became wet?
That battery has only been used for 2 months but since june it never got used again but I took it out of the car to prevent it from draining but it got wet from the rain.
If that does not cause a battery to go then it must be my car.
This is the 3rd time in eight months that I'm having trouble with that car.
I was planning to do a tranny and engine rebuild but I think it's better to just buy another car.
I have my eyes on the Lincoln Navigator or a Mercury Mountaineer.
What do u People think?

If you stored the battery improperly, it has already discharged itselft. If the battery is that new then take it to the shop you got it from and trade it in. Most batteries have at least a 3 year warranty. Otherwise a simple jump start will get that battery back into shape.
