(2) The brain is only needed for physical expressions of mentality ("talking", etc.), and we revert to purely non-physical mental functioning in the afterlife.

These are silly views, of course, but I'm not yet convinced that the existence of brain damage makes them any more so than they were to begin with.

It seems the considerations in gjm's comment actively tear (2) to shreds.
