In his mind he did, for a short while at least. But, again, that was not the point I was making. I was saying that he took the body and found God. Christ trampled death by (His own) death. That was His decision and will.
Satan's mind doesn't matter with the atonement. God's does. God is a JUST God. That justice can not be violated. We violated God's justice with our sin. God's law said that a penalty had to be paid which was death. But then, God's mercy and love paid the penalty for those who would believe. The atonement was all about Satisfying the demands of God's justice. Satan doesn't enter into it. He had no power over anything that God was doing and God owed him not a single thing in exchange for our freedom.
