They have killed many many people. So to say that they haven't killed anyone in the first episode is really __BLANK_____ . But whatever, believe whatever you want to believe even if it has no logic whatsoever.

Pinky already admitted also in the court or whatever that place is that she and the other priestesses "slaughtered" a lot of people.
There's not necessarily any illogical plotting nor any contradiction going on. Here are the facts:

1. The Sibyllae are supposed to be priestesses, not warriors.
2. The war between Kyuukoku and Shoukoku started relatively recently.
3. Simoun had never been shot down by enemies until episode 1.
4. The numbers and capabilities of the Shoukoku military was a surprise to Chor Tempest.
5. Chor Tempest used to patrol during the night.

It's possible that, if the war had started a week prior to episode 1, all of these points are consistent with one another. For your hypothesis that the Sibyllae had been at war constantly would require an overturn of points 1, 2 and 4.

Yes, people do think much in that manner. It's a very common rationalization for soldiers. I wouldn't say that they would necessarily say that they didn't kill people, but it's possible to mitigate that fact because they don't actually see them dying.
