It is good to see the Empress taking a more visible role in space, and I look forward to seeing the new flagship in action. I have no doubt that its armaments will make enemies of the Empire tremble no matter where they are.

So there is a clear disconnect between freedom fighters, resistance movements and the Elders, and the Minmatar Republic before the event. The latter was at an uneasy peace while the former never dropped arms.
Even if we accept this, the key word here is before.
There is no disconnect between the self-styled Elders and the Republic in its current form.

And that does not change the origins of the conflict, nor who the original aggressors were.
There was a peace treaty. The old war was over.
But if you really want to go back to ancient history, the Matari were the original aggressors when the sinned against God.

 Prove that your so-called god exists and that we "sinned" against it. Idiot.
When we found you, you were a primitive people that had denied God. As an act of generosity they gave you technology far ahead of your own, we took you to the stars, taught you laws, and civilized you. And all this was repaid in terror and death!

On top of that, have you ever tried getting Concord to change your registry name? It's nigh on impossible!

I'm glad that you agree with me on the technology, civilization and law part.

"their [The Drifters] origins are unknown, but they are certainly no product of the Lord's work"
That in itself, is a ground breaking declaration to me. I am surprised that nobody, either among baseliners or capsuleers, has noticed it yet. How silly of me, I thought all things in creation were supposed to be part of their God's plan? If the Drifters aren't part of his plan then that must surely mean the he is not omnipotent and infallible? If they are part of his plan who are the Amarr to question his will? It again puts into perspective the omnipotence paradox as applied to the Amarr religion.
There is no such paradox.
Omnipotence includes the ability to not use that omnipotence.
Also, you have to remember that God's greatest gift to mankind is free will.
