I heard that there's a place that's not as bad as hell that is made for sinners like theives and liars, but hell is reserved for the hard core sinners like murderers, adulturers, and homosexuals. Does heck really exist?

Heck is an euphemism "hell". However, I think you are referring to a place called purgatory.
Purgatory is mainly found in Catholic theology. The Protestant church does not believe in an 'in between hell and heaven' place following death.
There is no reference in the Bible to a special type of hell for people who have committed specific types of sins. Indeed, God's standard for people is perfection, so everyone deserves to go to hell... even the most wonderfully nice person you have ever met (Romans 3:23).
The Bible teaches that the only way for people (whether Mother Theresa or a murder) is through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

YES! IT DOES! Seriously, yes. The one with the murderers, however, is reserved for those to be punished; the other one is like a sinner's paradise, or something. Its not really punishment, but the person can continue to committ the crimes or whatever they love to do under Sataan's watch.
I don't, however, know about your description of what'll get you there. The Hell is there for murderers (without cause) and thieves (also without cause). Everyone else who likes strife goes to the other one.

Heck no.
Sorry, but Jesus is real clear about who will burn forever in the lake of fire and there's a lot of stuff on the list. FYI Homosexuals are not a sin. Practicing unnatural sexual acts with men is condemned and relations outside of marriage(adultery and fornication), but being homosexual is not a sin.
see Mark 7:21 and Romans 1:27
That's why we need Jesus to cover our sins with His precious blood, who wants to burn forever in the lake of fire for lying(one list says specifically "all liars")

There are different degrees/ levels of Hell.
All have sinned and come short of God's glory since the 1st Adam sinned. Going straight to Heaven happens to those who have made Jesus Christ their Lord, according to God's salvation plan. Jesus was the Sinless Lamb of God, so Death could not keep Him in the grave.
His righteousness lets us sit in the Heavens with Him.
I believe terrorists/ suicide bombers go straight to Hell,. I believe Muslims who have not been shown the Way in Christ, but have lived according to conscience (from God) and law go to a place of sleep until the judgment day where they are judged by there works.
The thief on the cross who confessed He was a sinner needing salvation, saying, " Lord remember me when you enter your kingdom." Jesus said, "Today you will be with me in paradise.".
Hell is made for the devil and his messengers. People can be the devils messengers when they slander, lie, falsely accuse, steal, hurt, destroy, & murder. The tares (bad seed) are the lies of the devil. And the wheat (good seed) are the truth & the Words of God.

I'll take this into consideration ... We have been considering the possibility of opening a "theme park" in our west wing... Perhaps over the gate, "All ye who enter here, abandon largesse"... If our next order for airconditioning units comes in ... I'll consider putting some trailer units over there... what the heck....

How would anbody from this universe know? Any comment or answer to this would strickly be conjecture. We all go somewhere, but don't think you will know about any of it until you get there.

it depends on what religion you believe. the catholics believe in pergatory, but other christian religions believe that there is just heaven and hell. i think that if you dont deserve to go to heaven, you go to hell. being a christian, i believe that there is only one way to get to heaven, but there is no inbetween.
