Christianity: You get to play all 4 quarters. If you play well, you get to go to the Endzone.

Calvinism: The Final score is predetermined. You don't get to participate. Your efforts don't matter. The league governing body determines which players get to go to the Endzone, arbitrarily.

Calvinism simply emphasizes the sovereignty of God.
Westminster confession of faith chapter 3 sums it up thus

1. God from all eternity did, by the most wise and holy counsel of his own will, freely and unchangeably ordain whatsoever comes to pass;a yet so as thereby neither is God the author of sin,b nor is violence offered to the will of the creatures, nor is the liberty or contingency of second causes taken away, but rather established.c

What precludes an all knowing and all powerful being from making decisions arbitrarily?
