In my opinion, analysis is the mother of inspiration. Analyzing our own ideas and viewpoints is the only way they will ever change (for the better or worse), and that's exactly why most people never change their religious beliefs once over their entire lives.

Yes. Even if what you are trying to inspire is true, your method of influencing is contrary to those of rational analysis.

No. In fact the process of rational analysis can inspire one, providing of course the subject can stand up to rational analysis.
