I've wondered if the modern calvinist knows the discrepancy between what modern calvinism says arminians believe and what arminians actually believe.

The more I think about it, the more I've concluded that they have placed a "modern calvinist overlay" on everything, to include arminianism. They see the world through a particular lens and that lens is colored "modern calvinism."

I call it: As Seen Through A Calvinist Lens: ASTACL

One could make the case that we all see the world through our various lenses. But, what is significant is whether or not any individual can address the weaknesses of his/her particular lens/overlay.
